Nightmare in Elm Streets

HOMES in roads named Elm Street can sell for around a third less than the average house in their area, a study found.

More than 30 roads with the name associated with horror film A Nightmare On Elm Street were analysed by Yorkshire Building Society.

Spokesman Chris Irwin said buying in a road with an unpopular name could present a bargain.

He said: “It might be in an area people otherwise could not afford.”
