Why You Can’t Neglect Your Driveway
Several property experts will argue that your driveway, assuming you have one, is the most important part or feature of your house. Some would even go as far as saying it is a focal point as it’s the first thing you see from the street.
Perhaps it says a lot about the character of your house too. Whether it’s a gravel driveway, tarmac driveway or a concrete driveway, you need to look after it. Here are the reasons why:
It’s A Selling Point
Estate agents Chancellors say buyers are put off making their purchases for several reasons and one of them is if a house doesn’t have a driveway. Some motorists don’t like parking in the street either and it might not be practical. And if you’re looking to sell your home, Chancellors add that a driveway essentially adds financial value to a property.
It’s Not Just You That Benefits
Covid-19 restrictions, including the rule of six, are easing. So it means many of us will be more comfortable with meeting indoors and having people round. And if your guests want to, and feasibly can, park on your drive it’s a nice thing to be able to offer them. Of course, the main purpose of a drive is being a place to put your vehicle.
Algae Makes It Unattractive
While it is less of an issue with tarmac driveways, algae and grass can grow through gaps between slabs. And this makes your driveway look unpleasant. Getting it jet washed by a company like CBS Cleaning is an important thing to do. Like other features of your house such as the garden, a driveway should be well-maintained.
