How we compare branches
- Time to agree a sale
- Median days from first listing to “sold subject to contract” or “under offer”, across the branch’s resale listings added in the last 24 months, including homes that have since completed. New builds and commercial property are left out.
- Listings with a price cut
- The share of those listings whose asking price was reduced at least once. Shown only when the branch has at least 20 listings.
- Review score
- The average rating sellers gave the branch on home.co.uk, out of 5, with a link to read the reviews.
We call one branch quicker only when it is at least 7 days faster, and say it cuts prices less only when the gap is at least 7 percentage points. Smaller differences are noise on a two-year sample, the same rule our town agent rankings use.
Questions
How do I compare two estate agents?
Compare the local branches you are thinking of using on the same measures over the same period: how long their homes take to find a buyer, how often they cut the asking price, and what their sellers say. Then ask each branch to explain its figures at the valuation.
What does “time to agree a sale” mean?
The median number of days from a home first being listed to it being marked sold subject to contract or under offer, across the branch’s resale listings in the last 24 months, including homes that have since completed. An agreed sale is not a completed sale.
Why is a figure missing for a branch?
We only show a figure when it rests on enough homes: at least 20 resale listings for the price-cut share, and at least 8 agreed sales for the time to agree a sale. Fewer than that and the number would be noise.
Is a faster agent always better?
No. A quick sale can mean a low asking price. Read speed alongside price cuts and the evidence each agent gives for its valuation, and ask about completed sales of homes like yours.
Where do the review scores come from?
From reviews sellers left for the branch on home.co.uk. The score is the average of every review that has not been taken down, and links to the branch’s reviews page.
