Alastair McKee, managing director of One77 Mortgages, said: “There we have it, if you want to buck the Brexit market blues you have a better chance of doing so if you live on one of these popular road names.

"While a road name isn’t the be all and end all, for many aspirational homeowners it can certainly have an impact on their decision to buy in the same way a not so desirable name can be off-putting.

In the current market climate, it’s vital to utilise every unique aspect your property possesses in order to get a sale over the line.”
