Festive road names and the joys they bring to UK home sellers

Properties located on festive road names with “Christmas” in them have the highest average sold price, new data revealed on Wednesday.

GetAgent.co.uk took a look at which festive road names have properties on them with the highest average sold price since last Christmas.

It is no coincidence that road names containing the word “Christmas” makes the top of the list. Selling for an average of £482,917, it is the most festively favourable for home sellers in the UK.

Roads with “Rudolph” come next for the highest sold price over the last year, with an average of £432,500.

Having “Chestnuts” in the road name will rank you third, as property prices across these roads have sold for an average of £349,114 over the past year.

Meanwhile, roads with the words “Tree”, “Stocking”, “Merry”, “Star”, “Sleigh” and “Turkey” are also a few festive favourites, with the average sold price of properties on these roads exceeding the £300,000 mark over the past year.

“As much as we love Christmas, there are only a few nutters out there that would want to live it day in day out all year around,” Colby Short, Founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, commented on the data.

“However, picking up a property with a festive-themed road name is perhaps a nice compromise and the magic of Christmas could also see you sell for more than a lump of coal when you choose to do so,” the Founder and CEO continued.

For those who love the festive season, buying a property with a festive road name is indeed a nice way to experience the Christmas festivities all year round.

Perhaps not so cheery, however, is the general election which looms over the UK property market. With just a day to go, parties campaign to win the final votes before the big day.
