The UK's top twenty property sales hotspots for May 2011 show a significant change in the market since our June 2010 analysis, with prosperous towns across the South East overtaking London boroughs. Farnborough now tops the list where buyers are competing for a limited supply of properties.

NB: Only towns with more than 500 properties for sale were included in the survey, which analysed the mean time on market for unsold property in estate agents' property portfolios.
