House hunters can be a superstitious lot, according to new research, with many saying they would avoid buying a property at number 13 if at all possible.

According to the research, by property website Zoopla, as many as 30% of those surveyed said they would be less likely to buy a property at number 13, and nearly a quarter (24%) would expect a property at this address to have a lower asking price than other door numbers.

In addition, the research analysed the average value of properties by their door numbers and found that homes at number 13 are typically £8,974 cheaper than the current average UK property (valued at £300,012).

The research also shows that almost half of Brits (43%) consider themselves to be superstitious, and not just when it comes to their house number. Nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents admitted that they would not exchange or complete, or even move into a property, on Friday 13th.

However, the superstitions don’t stop there. Almost half of Brits (46%) admit to having a lucky number, and a further 19% would be more likely to buy a property if it featured their favoured digits. Seven is apparently the nation’s most popular lucky number (20%) but, perhaps surprisingly, number 13 comes in second place, deemed lucky by 9% of the nation.
