In Yorkshire & Humber, homes completing in July, August, December sold for the most against the trend (best: December, 2.2% above; weakest: April, 2.2% below). A sale usually completes 3–4 months after it's agreed, so a December completion means agreeing a sale around September.Bars: share of the year's sales completing each month. Labels: the month's typical price against the 13 months around it, same home type, completions 2022–2025 (HM Land Registry). Part of the gap is which homes sell when (families moving in summer), so treat it as a nudge, not a rule.
