The 10 rudest UK street names - from Butt Close Lane to Hooker Road

We've all been there - you're driving down a country lane and suddenly a wildly rude street name will pop up out of the blue and catch you off guard.

From the quite frankly offensive 'Dumb Woman’s Lane' to the eyebrow-raising 'Cumming Street', it is as if our ancestors were trying to taunt us and make us snigger.

But house buyers Good Move has looked into whether these comical names actually impact house prices, revealing the rude postcodes where house prices are higher or lower than their local averages.

For example, houses on Twatling Road, in Birmingham, sell for nearly three times the postcode average, going for £704,104 compared to £246,027.

However some aren't so favourable with house buyers, like Goosebutt Street, in Sheffield, where houses sell for around a third of the S62 postcode average, going for £49,046 compared to £127,047.

One property expert from Good Move explained that at the very least the names can brighten up someone's day when they spot them.

Nima Ghasri said: “Not only do these names add a bit of humour to an address, but some have also shown strong price increases over time.

"A unique name can create intrigue and make a property more memorable.

"However, factors such as location, property condition, and the overall market are still the primary drivers of property value.”

Good Move added that a house's street name and the emotions it stir can all contribute to the decision-making process when house buying - and some names like Backside Lane might make properties more memorable, for worse or for better.
