UK’s unluckiest houses

The price comparison site found that people with the house number 243 have made more claims on their home insurance than those with any other door number, with 45 per cent having made a claim since January 2007.
Curiously, seven of the door numbers in the top 10 ‘unluckiest' are in the two hundreds, with 201, 240, 241, 221, 217 and 218 all appearing in Confused.com's league table of house numbers most likely to make a home insurance claim.
Number 1 came in third place;
Number 13, commonly thought to be the unluckiest comes in at position 182 with only 18 per cent of home owners from this number having made a claim.
Among the door numbers in Confused.com's top ten list, theft accounts for almost 4 per cent of home insurance claims, but the majority (75 per cent) come from accidental loss and damage in the home, suggesting those with a house number in the early two hundreds could be among the most accident-prone residents in the UK.
Gareth Kloet, head of home insurance at Confused.com, said: "Now is a peak time for home insurance claims as there have been more people in the house over Christmas which usually means more accidents. Some home insurance providers estimate entertaining at home left a whopping £820 million bill last year1. Judging by our numbers it looks as if 243 is a popular place for a party!"
