According to a survey by the Woolwich, living on a “lane” can add £50,000 to the value of your house compared with a similar property on a “drive.” Why this should be, I’m not sure, but neither am I arguing as the Parrot household is indeed on a “lane,” albeit still a closed one, as mentioned yesterday.
The hole at the bottom of our “lane” has grown since then. Apparently it was a 15 inch main that went splat and it doesn’t look like getting fixed anytime soon. Still, for 50k, I suppose the Pollies can put up with it.
