Fit for a king

Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms will be crowned at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May. This will be the 40th coronation to be held at the Abbey since 1066.


  • 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.
  • Neighbourhoods across the country are encouraged to get together for the Coronation Big Lunch and Big Help Out. More than 80% of home movers rate pleasant neighbours as important when choosing a property to buy, while 3 in every 4 value a sense of community.
