The highest priced property sold in Chiswick in 2015, was a house on Addison Grove, which went for £4,250,000. It is the twelfth most expensive sale of all time in the area as reported by local news website
www.Chiswick.W4.
How does this stack up alongside recent research by Zoopla to discover if there is a correlation between value and street name? The property firm analysed over 28 million homes to identify the top 1000 most common names in the UK.
Properties on ‘Streets’, ‘Courts’ and ‘Terraces’ have the lowest average property values across the UK, and homes on ‘King’ and ‘Prince’ related roads are worth more than those with ‘Queen’ or ‘Princess’ in their name. However properties located on ‘Warrens’ are worth more than double the national average.
The analysis revealed that the highest value properties in the country are to be found on a ‘Warren’, where house prices are nearly 73 per cent more than the average. The second most expensive addresses are found on a ‘Chase’ followed by 'Mount'.
The least expensive properties can be found on the common ‘Street’, and other names at the bottom of the list include, ‘Court’ and ‘Terrace’.
Read the full report.
The most common residential location and home to 2,125,670 properties in the UK is ‘Road’, followed by ‘Street’ with 1,036,227 properties and ‘Close’ with 325,528 properties. The most common road names in the UK are ‘High Street’ and ‘Station Road’, with 3,285 and 2,560 homes respectively.
So although a 'Grove' is home to Chiswick's priciest property, it doesn't feature highly in this list. And what about the cost conundrum posed by the richly named
Grove Park Gardens?
