Naming Your House - The Official View


Apparantly.

Fancy some of that moolah – need to get a good quality contractor style name to my bungalow in Wilmslow.

What would be a good name?

Sounds like utter bollocks:

Some years ago, in an admittedly unscientific survey, we approached, at random, over a hundred Estate Agents throughout the UK.

Our aim was to discover whether they felt a suitable and well chosen House Name would have any effect on the saleability or value of a property.

In a much better than expected response the general view was that a well chosen House Name did certainly aid the saleability of many dwellings.

More interestingly, the majority of respondents felt that a suitable and well chosen House Name could increase the value of a property by between 0.5% and 5%.

On a property valued at £200,000 that’s anything between £1,000 and a massive £10,000 increase in value. On a £500,000 house it’s up to £25,000 extra, on a £2 million property it could mean an extra £100,000. In some cases, we suspect, it could well be more - a very good reason for naming your house.
