Football may have a surprising impact on property prices in west London, according to new research.
The upcoming FA Cup Final, between Arsenal and Aston Villa this weekend, will be the ninth time the final has been played at the new Wembley Stadium since its construction in 2007.
Since then, property prices in the borough of Brent have increased by 53%, with the average house price in Wembley at £368,944, higher than the national average of £208,697, according to the Land Registry.
The last time Aston Villa made it to an FA Cup Final it was at the old Wembley Stadium, back in 2000, when the average cost of a house in the UK was just £85,000.
When Wenger began his stint as manager for Arsenal, in 1996, the average UK house price was a mere £60,000.
Since then, the London team have reached the FA Cup Final six times, during which property prices in Islington have risen by a staggering 547%.
The study - conducted by online letting agent eMoov - shows how drastic the inflation in house prices has been over the last few decades.
The property market is ever-changing and has been the focus of a significant amount of criticism in recent years.
