House sellers named Nigel, Mike or Louise sell their homes faster than anyone else, research by British online realtor House Network revealed today.

 

Nigels require 12% fewer viewings than the second fastest name in the rankings, Mike, and 34% less than the average of 15.

 

While vendors named Louise, the third fastest name for sellers, are taking down the ‘For Sale’ sign in 25% fewer viewings than the national average.   

 

At the other end of the spectrum, sellers called Jason take the longest to sell at nearly double the average number of viewings per sale of a Nigel, and need 31% more than the British average to complete. Ben, Nicholas, Colin and Darren round out the top five slowest selling names.

 

 

House Network, the UK’s largest online realtor, compiled the Property Market Names report using data from 8,883 house sales in the UK.
