The data, which is updated monthly, analysed over 310 property sales across the region between March 2024 and March 2025.
It tracks the moment a property is listed on the UK's leading property portals to the point it's marked as officially 'sold' at the HM Land Registry.
Mr Selvanayagam added: "It's also worth noting that many buyers have been pushing for their transactions to complete before 1st April given the reintroduction of the two per cent Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) band."
