Saturday’s FA Cup Final may have been a one-sided affair but the game has shown possible significance to the property market.

Online estate agent eMoov found that house prices around losing finalists Aston Villa’s home ground Villa Park have risen 94 per cent since the club last reached the final in 2000, when the average UK house price stood at £85,000 compared to £157,942 now.

However, according to eMoov calculations, house prices in Islington near to the Emirates stadium, the home ground of this year’s winners, Arsenal , have risen by a staggering 547 per cent since manager Arsène Wenger joined the club in 1996.

The Zoopla Z-Index showed that the average UK house price in 1996 was then £60,000 whereas now a flat in the Islington area can cost £459,391 – more than double the national average for a house.

Stephen Jury of eMoov commented:  “Hardly surprising given the London property market is a law unto itself, however considering Birmingham’s accolade as the second city, the property gulf between the two is vast.”

Property around the Emirates stadium has increased in value by £27,366 in the last year, whereas around Villa Park there has only been an increase of £1,844.

So not only did Arsenal thrash Aston Villa on the pitch, they have beaten them comprehensively in the housing market too.

Property price percentage increases have been taken from the Land Registry and average UK sold price data an average was taken across HPIs from Nationwide, Halifax, ONS and the Land Registry for Q4 of 2014.
