IT takes 248 hours to find the perfect home in Southampton, a new survey has revealed.
The survey found that 51 per cent of people in the city spend two hours per day or more on the process, which involves Internet searches, calls and emails to estate agents, organising viewings, offer negotiations and waiting for responses.
The survey was commissioned by estate agency Purplebricks.com and compiled by One Poll.
