Inverclyde is UK's second fastest selling market.
We look at why.
August 2024
by Gordon Campbell
- New analysis reveals that Port Glasgow in Inverclyde, our main investment focus area is Britain’s second quickest selling market, with the average home finding a buyer in just 26 days.
- Carluke near Glasgow is first (24 days) and Falkirk is third (27 days)
- It currently takes 43 days to find a buyer in Scotland, compared with 71 across Great Britain:
Wales is the slowest overall, taking an average of 82 days to find a buyer
- It’s taking an average of two weeks longer to find a buyer across Great Britain than at this time last year, with buyers remaining price sensitive and having more property choice to consider
- Scotland (+3 days longer to find a buyer) and London (+3 days longer) are the least affected areas compared to last year.
- The East of England (+19 days longer) is the most affected
Swanage in Dorset is the current slowest market, with an average home taking more than two months longer to find a buyer than at this time last year.
Scotland remains the quickest market across Great Britain, finding a buyer in 43 days on average, while Wales takes over from London as this year’s slowest market to find a buyer, with it taking on average 82 days to find a buyer.

Why
We have been focusing on Inverclyde area near Glasgow for the last 4 years.
We saw at that time and what was planned for further and significant infrastructure spending to road, rail, town centres, leisure and business centres/parks and major port expansion for cruise liners and shipping.
This recent blog explained in detail why. http://allianceproperty-group.co.uk/items/news-section/Why-Does-The-Glasgow-Economy-Make-It-One-Of-The-Best-Local-Economies-and-Property-Markets-in-the-UK-
