EP. 1502 Navigating Challenging Driveways in Property Transactions

Mark Novak, Josh Wapshott and guests Season 51 Episode 1502

🚗💡 Does a steep driveway or battle-axe block hurt your property value?

We just sold a home in Arthur Street — a stunning property with ocean views 🌊… but a tricky driveway.

Here’s what we learnt:
✔️ Hard access can rule out some buyers 🚫
✔️ But it often means privacy + elevated views = huge lifestyle tick ✅
✔️ Vendors may find it hard to see the “buyer’s perspective”
✔️ Usually it doesn’t slash the price — it just takes longer to find the right buyer

👉 So if you’re selling with hard access: focus on privacy, views + lifestyle.
👉 If you’re buying: you may snag a discount 💰 and extra features others overlook.

Would you buy a home with a steep driveway for killer views? 👇
