That’s not the case when you look at average property prices in UK streets with ‘Clinton’ or ‘Trump’ in the name.
According to research by London estate agents, Thorgills, over the past five years, average property prices on streets with ‘Trump’ in the name have increased in value by 37.9%, compared to 27.2% for streets that include the name ‘Clinton'.
The figures revealed that when it comes to house price growth, the Trump camp wins by a country mile, with average property prices increasing by an average of £131,299 - from £393,160 to £542,004 - in five years compared to £60,125 – from £220,696 to £280,821 - for streets with Clinton in the name.
Top of the pile in terms of house price growth, was Trumpington Road in the London borough of Waltham Forest, with average prices rising 56.6% in the past five years, from £243,731 to £381,583. While Clinton Avenue in Blackpool saw prices rise just 11.8% in five years, to languish at the bottom of the property price ladder.

1. Trumpington Road - Waltham Forrest: 56% rise from £243,731 five years ago to £381,583

Ben Madden, Managing Director of West London estate agents Thorgills, comments: “It’s just a bit of fun, but if the US Presidential Election was based on average property prices on UK streets with the candidates’ names in them, Donald Trump would win hands down. And Trump would appreciate the value of investing in property having made an enormous fortune himself in the property market.”
