How much is a Halloween home from Hell?
Halloween homes from Hell will cost you an average of £448k
The latest property market insight from Yopa reveals that Hell is the most expensive Halloween-related road name in England, but those living on a road with Lantern in the name have seen an almost paranormal property price increase of 44.8% in the past year.
To mark Halloween, Yopa has analysed the most recent Price Paid data from HM Land Registry (Jan-Aug 2025 – latest available)*, looking at property sales across England & Wales on roads featuring spooky, seasonal names such as Hell, Witch, Broom, and Grave. The study compares average sale prices in 2024 and 2025 (so far) to uncover which Halloween-themed addresses are proving to be a trick or a treat for homeowners.
The research shows that Halloween homebuyers are facing the highest house prices on roads with Hell in the name, where the average sold price comes in at £448,000 in 2025, despite a small fall of -5.2% year on year.
Lantern roads command an average price of £365,000, while the average price on Crow roads is £360,000.
At the other end of the scale, buyers looking for a bargain might head to October roads, where the average home costs just £118,750, making it the most affordable Halloween-themed address in the country.
A home on a Grave road will set you back just £175,000, while the average price of Witch roads is £257,500.
When it comes to the biggest price rises, homeowners on Lantern roads have plenty to celebrate. Average prices climbed from £252,000 in 2024 to £365,000 in 2025, marking a glowing 44.8% annual increase.
Crow roads also performed strongly, rising 15.2% over the year, while Broom and Witch roads saw healthy uplifts of 8.4% and 5.6% respectively.
However, not every spooky street has had a treat. Ironically, roads with Sweet in the name have suffered the scariest price drop, with average values falling by -15.6% in the last year.
Believe it or not, Hell-related road names have also cooled slightly (-5.2%), although they’re yet to freeze over, while roads with October in the name have also dipped by -0.5%.
Verona Frankish, CEO of Yopa, commented:
“It’s fair to say that it hasn’t really been a case of trick or treat this year when it comes to the topline performance of the housing market, but who would have thought that the nation’s homebuyers would be willing to pay the highest price to live in Hell?
However, whilst it’s not quite frozen over, Hell-related road names have cooled on an annual basis, proving that even the hottest areas of the housing market are feeling the impact of Autumn Budget uncertainty and indecision on the side of the nation’s homebuyers.
Of course, this hasn’t been the case completely across the board and roads with Lantern in the name have been lighting the way when it comes to the highest annual rate of appreciation.”
