Based on data from March 2026 – September 2026 · independently observed by ClearKey
This page summarises independently observed market activity for Bensons. Based on ClearKey's analysis of 20 qualifying transactions in March 2026 – September 2026, Bensons's listed properties moved from listing to sale agreed in a median of 101 days. This is 26 days slower than the Northern Ireland median of 75 days across all qualifying agents for the same period. Bensons ranks 173 of 178 agents with sufficient qualifying transactions to appear in ClearKey's dataset.
Speed to sale agreed is one indicator of performance, not a comprehensive measure of service quality. It does not capture price achieved relative to asking price, fall-through rates, or quality of buyer qualification. Bensons's position in the lower half of the ranking may reflect the types of properties they handle rather than service quality — agents specialising in higher-value, rural, or niche properties typically take longer to sell.

Observations generated from ClearKey's dataset. All statements are derived from measured data — no subjective assessments.
Selling time of 101 days — below the NI average
This agent's median of 101 days is 26 days slower than the NI median of 75 days. This may reflect the types of properties this agent lists, the price bands they operate in, or the postcodes they cover rather than service quality directly — slower markets affect all agents.
Wide variation in selling times — 73 to 114 days for the middle 50%
The middle 50% of this agent's listings sold in 73 to 114 days — a spread of 41 days. This breadth suggests the agent handles a diverse portfolio where individual property characteristics have a significant effect on how long each takes to sell.
Ranked 173 of 178 qualifying agents this period
This agent's rank of 173 out of 178 reflects their speed relative to the NI market during this period. Rankings can shift from quarter to quarter based on property mix, market conditions, and data volume.
Days on market is calculated from the property's listing date to the date it moved to sale-agreed or likely-sold status — not to legal completion.
Median is used as the primary ranking metric rather than average — it is more robust when individual portfolios contain outlier properties that take unusually long to sell.
Only agents with a minimum of 10 qualifying sale-agreed transactions in the analysis period appear in the main ranking. Segmented breakdowns (property type, price band, region) use an adaptive minimum between 3 and 10 transactions, scaled to the total activity in that segment — this prevents niche segments from showing almost no ranked agents.
Properties with a days-on-market figure exceeding 1,095 days (3 years) are excluded as likely data anomalies.
All data derived from ClearKey's verified Northern Ireland property listings database. Rankings are computed independently and cannot be influenced by estate agents.
Speed is not the same as price achieved. This page measures how quickly listed properties moved to sale agreed — not whether they achieved asking price, above, or below.
Area effects. Agents operating in postcodes with naturally faster market velocity will tend to rank higher regardless of individual firm performance.
Property mix. Agents handling premium, rural, or specialist stock that takes structurally longer to sell may rank lower without any reflection on service quality or client outcomes.
Name fragmentation. The same firm may appear under slightly different name variants in listing data, which can split their transaction count and affect ranking.
