I live in an Edwardian street and my house should have been 13 except it isn’t. They skipped it and my house is 15 instead. Hopefully the universe doesn’t spot

  Perhaps the story is that there is some bias in the streets which have number 13s instead of skipping like on your street and that’s the reason for the price difference?

  Now I’m curious about the ratio of houses numbered 13 and 12a (then 14 with no 13) across the UK.

    Our street just went from 11 to 15.

    Generally, we have odd on one side and even on the other, so this isn't likely. The odds and evens are usually also allocated sequentially and independently, so it can be incredibly annoying when you're looking at the numbers on the wrong side of the road thinking you're getting close when you're actually walking away from the house because the numbers are much higher or lower on the other side.
