  • In the past two years alone there have been over 8,800 property sales on streets with coronation-related street names, nearly 100 sales taking place with a property address including 'King Charles'.
  • Properties with 'King' in the street name achieved an average sales price of just over £500,000, compared to 'King Charles' £360,000 and 'Coronation' £226,000.
