The index has revealed that housing market conditions are the strongest in Scotland, despite Aberdeen having the worst performance.

Properties in Glasgow and Edinburgh sell within six weeks on average, compared with 12 weeks across the whole of the UK. They are also the only cities in the UK not to register a discount from asking to selling price.

Homes in the two cities have seen an average premium of 6-7% above the asking price.

Sellers across the rest of Britain accept offers that are on average 3.8%, or £9,800, lower than the initial asking price.

However, properties in Aberdeen take over 15 weeks to sell, with sellers discounting their homes by 9.4%.

Richard Donnell, research and insight director at Zoopla, said: “There is a continued polarisation in housing market conditions across the country set by underlying market fundamentals, albeit Brexit uncertainty has been a compounding factor for lower market activity in some areas.“
