JustPark, the UK’S favourite parking app, reveals how much extra cash some of Britain’s most recognisable fictional faces could be making if they were to list their driveways on the platform.
From Friday Night Dinner’s Goodman family’s off-street parking in North London, to Gavin and Stacey’s beloved Mick and Pam’s Essex home, the app has totted up the earning potential of a number of iconic addresses using the handy JustPark online calculator, which takes into consideration driver demand in those specific locations, nearby transport links and proximity to local amenities.
EastEnders Ben Mitchell tops the leaderboard as the biggest potential earner of the group. The fictional East London location, which is located on the official Eastenders tube map where Bromley-by Bow is, would bring in almost £3,500 a year. Its location is ideal for commuters passing through Walford on their way into the city as the parking space is in an area with very little off-street parking, so provides commuters with a reliable place to leave their car, while they hop onto the London Underground.
The data demonstrates how some of our favourite characters could be topping up their bank balance, through a fast, efficient no-effort-required side hustle. UK tax rules allow customers to earn up to £1,000 per year in extra income without having to declare it and with the cost-of-living continuing to impact us all, a few extra pounds from renting out your driveway is an easy way to generate extra earnings.
JustPark has 12 million drivers using their app and website to look for parking and has identified that there is a staggering £1.85 million in unclaimed earning potential due to increasing driver demand.
Anthony Eskinazi, CEO and Founder of JustPark said: “By sharing the earning potential of some of the most familiar faces and characters in the UK, we hope that Brits recognise the untapped goldmine that is their driveway. With members of the JustPark community able to earn up to £5,000 a year, our app is the simplest way to supplement your income, whether you are saving for a rainy day, or looking for some support during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.”
