Value from a carport?

[blueovercream]

I'm in something of a quandry - I've had a few quotes to extend my (very narrow) driveway, install some new fencing and a gate and possibly build a car port. The car port adds significantly to the cost, the whole lot generally being in the region of £9-10k

If you look at the space from the street you might think it's not possible to get a car into it, but it is - with some care. I can fit my 987 Cayman in there, and would love some more shelter for it.

Parking on the street is unresricted but can get tricky to find a space in the evenings.

Added to this I'm not sure how much longer I'll be in the house for. Unlikely more than 2 years.

So what do I do? Any thoughts on how much value a car port might add? Extend the driveway with not car port?

Anyone with recent experience of this?

As somebody who spent far too long house hunting, I don't think I would place much value on a narrow car port. Personally I wouldn't bother if you are planning to move

If it were me and the evening parking was the main issue I'd be looking to the driveway extension without the car port as the best compromise between cost and value obtained.
This would be especially valid given your expected time scale although if less than 2 years maybe I wouldn't even bother with that ?
How many years have you put up with it as it stands ?

Definitely don't bother, you'll never get that money back.
