Three-bedroomed semi-detached houses are reaching sale agreed status in a record low of two weeks after coming to market in some areas, new research has found.

Fuelled by an unprecedented lack of supply, the average three-bed semi is now reaching sale agreed after just five weeks on the market across the country – almost half the nine-week average this time last year.
