The London Borough of Hillingdon was found to be home of four of the top 10 busiest UK roads but house prices in the area have risen by 5%.

Congested roads have usually put off potential buyers but research by eMoov.co.uk has found traffic volume isn’t as detrimental to property prices as it once was.

Milton Keynes, Swindon, Hampshire and Leicestershire are also home to the busiest roads in the UK and have all enjoyed a property value increase.

Russell Quirk, Founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk, said the research showed that a busy B Road outside your front door was no longer a turn off for buyers.

“With the demand for property increasing, within London especially, people will now overlook a number of factors which may have swayed them away from a property in previous years,” said Russell.

“It’s interesting that this isn’t confined to the capital. Perhaps the pendulum has swung with the rise in popularity of commuter friendly zones.

“Now living next to a major junction can be more desirable because it makes the morning commute that little bit more convenient. There are also those that won’t care about the amount of traffic passing through an area, simply because they rely on public transport when getting around.”
