What to weigh up in Giffnock

  • Frontage widths here are broadly consistent across the area's interwar housing stock.
  • Smaller plots than Newton Mearns mean the survey checks available width carefully before a quote is confirmed.
Road frontage

A driveway only applies where a property has a private garden or hard standing accessed directly from the street. Tenement flats open onto a shared close or back court and have no road frontage, so they cannot take one. Where frontage exists but no dropped kerb is in place, an application to East Renfrewshire Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
