Halifax Estate Agents: Parking is a priority

The majority of people in the UK would pay more for a property that had safe parking, according to Halifax Estate Agents.

In a new study, Halifax found that almost seven in ten (68 per cent) Brits would be prepared to spend more on a home that came with a driveway or parking space.

On average, people would be willing to pay £4,800 for such a feature - with 11 per cent of respondents claiming they would lay out up to £10,000 in addition to the price of the house.

"If you are selling your home, make sure any parking facilities are presented to reflect their intended use as much as possible," said Colin Kemp, managing director of Halifax Estate Agents.

"For example, clear any junk out of the garage so it obvious that there is adequate space for a car and make sure driveways are weed free and cleared of rubbish."

According to Home Office statistics, there were 1.7 million vehicle related thefts during 2005-06.
