Kerb appeal

Series: Estate Agency News ; (205) October 2004, 8(1)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: According to a new survey by the property website assertahome.com, the type of vehicle parked on the street or in a driveway can make a marked difference to local property prices. Living next door to a caravan owner or truck driver will adversely affect house prices if they keep these eyesores at home. A HGV lorry parked next door could result in a 16% reduction in property price, a caravan or camper van a 12% drop and white vans an 11% drop. On the flip side of this is that if you live in a street with a Range Rover or 4x4 parked outside, your property could increase by 9%. Kerb-to-kerb prestige cars indicate a super-premium area where house prices are already high.
