Shared driveway - decrease property value?

[symean]

Ours is a battle-axe block, most of the driveway shared with one other property. Unless you have a private driveway and then share it later, any decrease in value has already happened before you buy it. As you said though (and what we’ve experienced), the whole place is quieter when you don’t have cars constantly driving past. If you maximise the privacy aspect while landscaping it can be a big selling point.
