What??? So how come off-road parking costs approx £2k to £3k to do, and add
approx £5k to £8k on the value of the house.


If by "off-road parking" you mean block paving then that`s what I
though up til recently. Now I`m wondering if there`s much of a
increase in what you spend, i.e. £2k spent gets a £2k value increase?


As has already been pointed out, it very much depends. In an area where
parking is at a premium, and you have to pay a significant sum for on
street parking permits then it probably would add greater value. In our
street, it would probably detract from the value of the house
