“Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham didn’t make the top five places to sell your house fast, but some areas of those cities dominated postcodes for fast house sales.”
According to analysis by Pink Storage, Sheffield’s S11 postcode was the fastest selling overall, with homes selling within 11 days of being listed.
Mr Evans said: “The majority of homes sold in this region last year were terraces selling for around £317,306. Detached properties in the area sold for doubles at £600,567.
Homes in Liverpool’s L11, L26 and L14 postcodes sell quickly in 14, 15 and 23 days respectively.
