The latest property market analysis by eXp UK, the platform for personal estate agents and estate agency businesses, has shown that whilst the cost of a pint may have increased this St Patrick’s, Day, it’s a bricks and mortar Guinness that will cost you more, with homes on streets with Guinness in the name averaging a sold price of £442,000 over the last year.
eXp UK analysed price paid data from the Land Registry, looking at the average sold price of home sales to have completed over the last 12 months across a range of St Patrick’s Day themed street names.
Punters looking for a pint of the black stuff this Paddy’s Day are expected to be paying as much as 10% more, but the sharp increase in the cost of a pint is nothing compared to a property on a road with Guinness in the name.
Over the last year, the average sold price on roads with Guinness in the name sits at a hefty £442,000.
