Anyone know any good sources showing a graph of the history of how long it takes to sell properties in the UK? Google didn't seem to be able to give me the answer to this so I have done what I always do when Google doesn't have the answer ... ask MSE...

All the data you need is here.....

Last available data is 79 days nationally and 65 in London on average.

The figures fluctuate greatly by season, but in the same month a year earlier it was 80 days nationally and 59 in London.

That's conveyancing. Not the same as selling.

You're quite right - misinterpreted the question, thanks for highlighting it.
