Cars per Harlow household
Jukes Estate Agents Harlow have been looking at the latest data from the Office of National Statistics (https://www.ons.gov.uk/) and how many cars there are per Harlow household.
Marketing Director Geoff Flewers say: ” Parking in some parts of Harlow has become bordering on impossible. There is little or no doubt that in the majority of cases, Harlow property for sale that has allocated parking or a driveway / garage sell quicker and for more money. Sometimes quite a bit more money. The cost of converting the front garden into a drive and paying for the council to drop the kerb can add more value to the property than the actual cost of getting one done”.
