Everyone knows the frustration of property viewings\nwhen selling your home: You shed blood, sweat and tears to make the house look immaculate,\nthe prospective buyer looks around for five minutes and then you never hear\nfrom them again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can take a number of viewings with the\nsame result before you find your buyer. And indeed, it often takes a lot of\nviewings for a buyer<\/a>\nto find their perfect property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this always the case though? Just how\nmany viewings does<\/em> it take to sell your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it\u2019s all about the location!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to research based on property\nsales across 2023-2024, the average number of viewings before a sale across\nEngland and Wales is 16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the number of viewings varies depending\non where you live, with properties in the North and Midlands requiring fewer\nviewings on average than properties in the South. For instance, in the West\nMidlands, properties only required 9 viewings before a sale whereas in Greater\nLondon, 27 viewings were needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
