Number 13

According to a report from FindaProperty the number 13 knocks £6,511 off the value of a house – at least it has done so for those so numbered which have been sold in the last decade.

Now assuming we are comparing like with like (do we mean houses only, or are flats included?) this has implications for the recently reported finding that having the number 1 increases the value of your property, or indeed the comparison between the sale value of odd & even numbers. Thirteen is obviously a very special case, an outlier which should be removed from the comparisons
