When it comes to the most valuable house numbers, Barrows and Forrester reveal the top spot was 197, with an average selling price of £325,000. But, close behind were number 1 at £320,000, number 150 at £320,000 and house number 2 at £315,000.

The popularity of low door numbers is largely because these are the most common numbers on the market. They also often appear on corner plots or end-of-terrace homes that typically offer that much-desired extra space, an important consideration for any homebuyer, whether superstitious or not.
