The data shows that the McCallister house in Home Alone, located in the suburbs of Chicago, is the most expensive property on the list, with an estimated 2025 market value of almost £4.4m. Edina Monsoon's Absolutely Fabulous townhouse on London's Holland Park Avenue ranks second with an estimated value of £3.1m, while Buddy's dad's Manhattan apartment from modern festive classic Elf would require a hefty investment of around £2.3m. Back in London, Sherlock Holmes' iconic 221B Baker Street home is valued at just over £2.2m.

New analysis by leading property data provider, Search Acumen, shows that 16,780 properties across England above the rateable value of £500,000 will be affected by an increase to business rates if Chancellor Rachel Reeves goes through with planned reforms, having a material impact on occupiers and investors. The analysis indicates that business rates increasing will disproportionally impact London, with almost two-fifths (37%) of properties liable based in the Capital alone. The 6,100 premises have a rateable value of £9bn nearly half of the overall collective value of rateable properties above the £500,000 threshold.

Pricing properties correctly is critical to ensuring our listings sell for the best price and terms possible. The correct listing price means more exposure for your listings, which drives the price up and improves offer terms, especially when there are multiple offers. The more attractive the price, the more interested buyers you'll have. The more buyers, the more (and better) offers you'll be able to negotiate for your seller.

One of the most important sell signs is the state of the housing market around you. A seller's market, where demand outweighs supply, often means homes sell faster and at higher prices. Reviewing recent sales data can give you a clear picture of what to expect. Look at how long homes similar to yours stayed on the market and whether they sold above the asking price.
