The benefits of a corner block of land. When sourcing a house and land package, there are many factors to consider. These factors can greatly differ among investors and owner occupiers, but a corner block can offer a number of unique benefits for many property buyers.
In this market insight we discuss the benefits of a corner block.
The benefits of a corner block
A lot more natural light
When your home is built on a corner block, you property will have clear street frontage on two of the four sides of a home. This is usually the frontage and one of the sides of the home. This will greatly add more nature light throughout the year. Natural light is great for your level of energy and well-being, while it also maintains a more consistent room temperature and increases the sustainability of your home.
Comparing this to a regular block, the home will capture more natural light from the frontage of the home.
Greater privacy
A traditional block that has your neighbours side by side will obviously limit your privacy as they may potentially look over to your property. A corner block will have less neighbours looking over your fence, which ultimately offers you more privacy.
There are two entries to the home
A corner block can provide the opportunity to have two entrances from two street frontages. This is particularly helpful in a multi-generational household as it can split the home up more. You may also want an entrance to your backyard to compliment the front yard too.
