The data comes from property experts, Property Solvers, which examined hundreds of property transactions recorded between September 2025 and September 2026.
Its monthly asking versus sold price tool compares prices listed on leading UK property portals with completed sale prices lodged at HM Land Registry.
The figures cover the process from the first listing and viewings through negotiation, offers, agreement, surveys, conveyancing, exchange and completion.
