Property buyers have been offered three per cent off of their housing price if they choose door number 13, according to housing website Zoopla.

The search portal calculated homes with the supposedly unlucky number are almost £10,000 cheaper than the average UK accommodation.

The calculations come after a survey was released, on

Friday (13.01.17), which proved almost a third of home owners let superstition take hold of them and they would be less inclined to buy a home with the digits on their humble abode.

Lawrence Hall, spokesman for Zoopla, said: ''While superstitions might weigh heavily on the minds of some, in a year with not one but two Friday 13ths - the second of which will be in October - there could be a real opportunity for those not suffering from triskaidekaphobia to secure a property bargain.''

The survey also concluded a quarter of buyers are also less likely to buy, exchange or move into a property on Friday 13th, with some believing the superstitious date could bring bad luck.
