Whilst some have sold within two weeks, others merely took a few days find their buyer.
The results show that properties in West Lothian have been sold quickly since January 2022, as well as several near the city centre and the outskirts of town.
Albyn Drive, Livingston
The first property on the list is a beautiful five-bedroom, detached house on Albyn Drive, Livingston, EH54.
This property emerged on the market on January 24, 2022 and sold within three days, as the price for this home was £515,000.
The home is very well presented and includes a huge office room and a sliding door that separates the kitchen from the garden which would be perfect for summer nights.
Following the theme of homes in West Lothian selling fast, it's no wonder this property did not last long on the market and is in a popular area of Livingston.
Neil Gorman, Local Property Partner said, "This property was only on the market for three days and sold for significantly more than the Home Report valuation. It sold quickly due to the great location, high quality finishes throughout and a stunning kitchen/family room extension. We carried out 14 viewings and had to cancel a further 16 viewings due to the speed of sale."
Pentland Avenue, Bathgate
The second property on the list in Bathgate may not be much to look at, but that didn't stop it being swooped off the market in just ten days.
Located in Pentland Avenue, West Lothian, this two-bedroom end of terrace home was obviously something that the buyer was keeping an eye out for.
With spacious bedrooms and a beautifully decorated bathroom, you can see why it won over the heart of the buyer so instantaneously.
This property was on the market for as little as £129,995 on January 20, which would definitely have been one of the main factors involved in it being sold after ten days.
Neil Gorman, Local Property Partner said, "This home was on the market 10 days before selling for above the Home Report valuation. I think it sold quickly because it’s an affordable first-time buyer purchase, well presented throughout and has good-sized bedrooms."
Chuckethall Place, Livingston
This property is also located in Livingston, West Lothian, as this particular area seems to be a hotspot for quick-selling homes.
Similar to the first property, this five-bedroom detached house showcases an exceptionally high standard of decor and furnishing and was on the market for £359,950.
This home was snapped up in just seven days, after going on the market on January 18, with the buyer being instantly won over by spacious living areas and tranquil location.
The property has a newly fitted kitchen as well as a private driveway and double garage.
Neil Gorman, Local Property Partner said, "We sold this property within 7 days for a substantial amount over the Home Report valuation. The property itself is in a great location, and offers spacious living and a large garden. There were 4 offers made and this was another swift sale for us."
Little Street, South Queensferry
The first home on the list not situated within the Lothians is a new build three-bedroom semi detached property in Little Street, South Queensferry, EH30.
As well as having a memorable name, this home went on the market January 18, 2022 and sold in just two days.
As the home was available for as little as £230,000, it's easy to see why it took such a small period to be sold.
The property includes three spacious bedrooms as well as an attractive and modern furnished kitchen and a long private garden.
The area is perfect for those commuting for work into central Edinburgh, whilst also not being too far away from the attractive night life.
Tomasz Ros, Local Property Partner said, "This three bed semi-detached house sold in just two days for over the asking price. The property is located in an area with high demand, and it’s move in condition - which appealed to many buyers."
Haig Lane, Edinburgh
The final showcased property on the list is very central, situated on Haig Lane, EH6.
This two-bedroom flat came on the market on January 4 2022 and sold in just ten days for over the asking price.
The modern and attractive flat was available for just £230,000, a snip compared to recent price hikes within the city centre.
With top floor views, gas central heating, resident parking and two bathrooms, it's easy to see why this did not last long before being subjected to an offer.
As well as only being two years old, it includes a spectacular Juliet balcony.
Tomasz Ros, Local Property Partner said, "This lovely two bedroom flat sold in ten days for over the asking price. The property is in a unique new development, has a great interior design, and is move in condition."
