Breweries are hardly a new concept in East London’s E1, which was home to the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane for several decades and was revered as one of the largest breweries in the world.

However, E1 continues to keep the local brew-making tradition alive with One Mile End, based in Whitechapel. The property values in E1 have a 14.1% head start averaging £596,859 from £522,730 in the whole of Tower Hamlet’s.

Yorkshire and the Humber’s Blacksheep Brewery in HG4 enjoys a premium in property prices of 12.3%, trailed by South London’s Bullfinch Brewery in SE24 (11.7%), Scotland’s Swannay Brewery in KW17 (11.6%) and Brewsmith Beer in the North West’s BL0 (10.7%).

CEO of Emoov.co.uk, Russell Quirk, said: “When looking to sell a home it’s normal for price expectations to be based on factors external to the property itself. A good school, green space, convenient amenities and transport links can all add value, but so to can the close proximity of a brewery it seems.

“While living a stone’s throw from a brewery will certainly have come in handy for St Patrick’s Day, using it as a highlight when selling your property may restrict your property’s appeal to a niche group of buyers.”
