Whether it’s residential or commercial, you may have a property that has pedestrian-only access, which can be an issue for many reasons, including:
- Receiving deliveries
- Guests and visitors
- Lack of parking
- Safety of vehicles
- People with disabilities who need vehicular access
Of course, it’s not always possible to have access for vehicles, but in many cases, it’s possible to install a private road that will allow you to drive up to your property. A private road is one that’s owned by an individual or organisations who take responsibility for a road and its upkeep and not the government.
There are many occurrences where roads are owned collectively by a number of residents, so if you need a road that will be to the benefit of more than just yourself it can be possible to split the cost.
There are a number of benefits to owning a private road, including:
- Control over its upkeep and development
- Quickly fix any potholes or cracks and avoid car damage
- Increased security
- Increased value on your property provided the road is included in any sale
