Premier League stadium area with highest house price premium revealed

Published on

Burnley’s Turf Moor has emerged as the Premier League’s most lucrative stadium location in relative terms, with homes in its BB10 postcode commanding a 48.1% premium over the wider Burnley market.

The findings, from estate agency Yopa, compare average house prices in each Premier League stadium’s postcode with values across the relevant local authority ahead of the 2025/26 season. While the priciest locations overall remain in west London, Burnley’s ground stands out for the margin by which it outperforms its surroundings.

The BB10 postcode has an average house price of £198,037, well above Burnley’s wider average of £121,305. Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium ranks second for relative uplift, with a 22.9% premium compared with the rest of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. West Ham’s London Stadium in E20 takes third place, though the uplift there is a modest 1.2% over Newham as a whole.

When it comes to outright values, Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge and Fulham’s Craven Cottage share top billing. Both lie within the SW6 postcode, where the average property now costs £772,153. Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in N7 ranks third at £520,464, while Brighton’s Amex Stadium is the most expensive ground outside the capital, with an average price of £415,614.

However, most stadium postcodes in the Premier League actually trail their wider markets. In Leeds, the LS11 postcode around Elland Road records the steepest discount, with an average value almost 50% lower than the citywide figure.

Steve Anderson, Yopa’s national franchise director, said: “For many football fans, living within arm’s reach of their chosen football team would be a dream come true and, like all areas of the property market, the price of achieving such a dream can differ dramatically depending on which area of the country your team’s home ground is located.

“However, what is perhaps more interesting is the fact that all but three Premier League stadium postcodes are home to an average house price that comes in below that of the wider area.

“This suggests that living within close proximity of a major sporting venue doesn’t hold the wider market appeal you might think and, for those who don’t follow a football team religiously, the increased footfall on game days can actually act as a deterrent when it comes to property market appeal.”
