Homeowners can earn £100s a month from their driveway in the easiest sidehustle – how you can too
HOMEOWNERS could make easy money ahead of the new Premier League season - simply by having a driveway they're not using. A team of experts has analysed postcodes near the nation's major stadiums to determine where householders could earn the most money by renting out their driveways to fans. 3 3 3 According to Leasing Options, residents living near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (N17) enjoy the highest earning potential, with an average daily income of £22.25 throughout the year. Other lucrative areas include postcodes near Leeds ' Elland Road Stadium, where homeowners can make £22 a day, and Ch e lsea 's Stamford Bridge in London, offering £21.50 per day. For those living near Wembley Stadium, the country's iconic football venue that hosts the England National Team, cup finals and events like the recent Community Shield, the earning potential is similar at £21 per day. Likewise, residents near Scotland's Hampden Park and Wales' Cardiff City Stadium can expect to earn around £21 a day. Further down the rankings, homeowners in Liverpool living near Anfield and Everton Stadium can still earn a respectable £13 per day, with prices often more than tripling on matchdays or during special events. With the Premier League season kicking off this weekend, renting out an unused driveway could be one of the simplest and most effective sidehustles for homeowners looking to make some extra cash. It isn't just sporting events either, as some of the highest earners this year so far are music events - including high-profile concerts and festivals. These events often result in single-day earnings that surpass what would typically be made in a week - making them a particularly lucrative option for those living nearby. At the top of the list is Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester, where driveway rentals can fetch an average of £165.67 per day during the event. Following closely is Beyonce's tour stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with homeowners earning an average of £150.26 per day during her shows.

Other notable events include Guns N' Roses at Villa Park in Birmingham, where locals can earn £97.40 daily, and Sabrina Carpenter's concert at Hyde Park in London, which offers average earnings of £94.92.

The study focused on over 25 major cities and key 2025 events, mapping more than 750 postcode districts using public data. Commercial listings were excluded, location accuracy was verified and districts with insufficient data were removed, leaving over 550 reliable areas. Median weekday and weekend rates were averaged to calculate daily earning potential, while event-day prices were separately assessed for major fixtures. Commenting on the data, Mike Thompson, Chief Executive Officer at Leasing Options, said: 'With demand for event parking soaring across the UK, it's clear that homeowners have a real opportunity to turn their unused driveways into a valuable source of extra income. 'Our data shows that locations near major stadiums like Tottenham Hotspur, Elland Road and Wembley consistently attract high rental prices. 'During big-name events, these figures can more than triple. "It's a smart, low-effort way for people to benefit from the buzz around them, especially in areas where parking is at a premium. 'As we look ahead to a packed 2025 event calendar, the potential for driveway rentals is only set to grow." How to rent out your driveway For those interested in turning their unused driveway into a steady source of income, there are a handful of steps you can follow. Check Eligibility - Review your mortgage or lease agreement to ensure renting out your driveway is allowed, and also check with your local council to confirm you don't need planning permission. Choose a Platform - Platforms like JustPark, YourParkingSpace and ParkOnMyDrive make it easy to list your driveway. You can sign up, create a profile and provide details about your parking space, such as dimensions, location and availability. Set Your Price - Research current rates in your area using the platform's tools or by browsing other listings. You can even adjust the price for special events or peak times to maximise earnings. Add Photos and a Description - Make sure upload clear photos of your driveway and write a good description, highlighting features such as proximity to venues, security and ease of access. Manage Bookings - Set your availability for weekdays, weekends or specific dates. Also use the platform's booking system to approve requests and communicate with renters. Ensure Insurance - Consider public liability insurance to cover accidents or damages while someone is using your driveway. Track Your Income - You must keep records of your earnings and remember that if they exceed £1,000 annually, you'll need to declare them to HMRC under the Property Income Allowance. This comes as Sun Motors recently looked at the family motors that lose the least value over time - with a luxury compact SUV taking the top spot. New data from the analysis of 40 million UK car sales over a typical three-year ownership period highlights which family models hold their value best. Experts from Carmoola have recently released their new Car Depreciation Index, developed with vehicle data specialists Brego, which ranks the top-performing family cars for resale value. They found that the Porsche Macan is the slowest-depreciating family car sold in the UK - losing just 19.9% of its value over three years. The Macan is particularly popular in the UK due to its blend of sporty performance, SUV practicality and the prestige of the Porsche badge. It's championed for being agile and powerful, with a well-tuned suspension that makes it enjoyable to drive on various UK roads, from city streets to country lanes.

Sky Sports pundits split over Premier League title winner after predicting their top five - as Roy Keane names key to Liverpool retaining their title
insisted Liverpool will need to bring more players in if they are to retain their Premier League title this season. Following Arsenal 's win over Man United on Sunday, Keane and fellow Sky Sports pundits Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge were tasked with giving their predictions for the 2025-26 campaign. The trio each selected a top five, but none could agree on which team will have their hands on the trophy come the end of May. In his predictions, Keane backed Mikel Arteta to finally get Arsenal over the hump and claim the title after three consecutive second-placed finishes. Keane then placed Liverpool second, followed by Man City and Newcastle, with Chelsea rounding out his top five. The usually unwavering Irishman qualified his prediction however, by noting that Liverpool will be able to make it two wins on the bounce if they are able to bolster their squad before the end of the transfer window. 'Depending on signings, if we're allowed to change our mind, I'm convinced that Liverpool can get another centre half then I would go with Liverpool,' Keane said on Sky Sports. The Reds have enjoyed a productive summer in the transfer market as Arne Slot looks to build on the success of his first year on Merseyside. Hugo Ekitike has already made an impact for the Reds alongside marquee arrival Florian Wirtz and the club are understood to be still pursuing a move for wantaway Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. As far as defensive reinforcements are concerned, the club have been repeatedly linked with a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. Meanwhile former Man City defender Richards backed his boyhood club to return to the top of the mountain after a poor campaign by their standards last season. However, Keane insisted that he feels Pep Guardiola's side still time to get back to their best. 'I never usually bet against Pep and City,' Keane added. 'I just think maybe defensively, and I know that they've thrown James Trafford in there, and I think he's a really top goalkeeper but I just have that gut feeling that I think Arsenal might do it this year. 'But as I said, I think if Liverpool get a center half, and I would definitely change my mind on Liverpool. 'Even looking at Liverpool, sometimes when Liverpool aren't even added, or even City, when they're not at their best, they'll still score two or three goals.' Sturridge joined Richards in claiming one of his former clubs will go all the way, as the ex-Liverpool striker claimed the Reds have what it takes. Like Keane though, the 35-year-old claimed that the club would benefit from bolstering their squad depth. '[Liverpool] a strong squad, but I do think they need maybe one or two additions to strengthen up.' Sturridge said. 'I think they need a defender, and, of course, one more attacker. They're a little bit short in both of those areas.'

Ruben Amorim rules out signing new goalkeeper after latest blunder
Ruben Amorim insisted that Manchester United do not need to sign a new goalkeeper before the transfer window closes, despite another blunder by Altay Bayindir gifting Arsenal an opening Premier League win at Old Trafford. Bayindir was playing instead of first-choice André Onana – who was left out of the squad completely despite returning to training, although the United head coach insisted he was not dropped. "A magical Arsenal set piece" 🪄 Riccardo Calafiori opens the scoring for the Gunners! — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 17, 2025 'No, no, no. I didn't drop Onana from the squad,' Amorim said. 'It's not putting André Onana in just one week [after injury] without seeing the game, without time, with only training.' Asked if he was happy with his three goalkeepers – 39-year-old Tom Heaton was on the bench – Amorim replied: 'We proved today that we can win any game in the Premier League, especially against a great team like Arsenal, and we were the better team.' Pressed on the issue of his goalkeepers and whether United would try to sign one before the window closes in just two weeks' time, Amorim responded: 'I'm happy with the three goalkeepers.' Even so, United did inquire about Aston Villa's Emiliano Martínez and Paris St-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma earlier in the summer, but have now committed their transfer funds strengthening other areas of the team with a revamped forward line. Donnarumma's agent is now in talks for the Italy international to join Manchester City if they sell Ederson. City currently have a free run at the 26-year-old, who has been told to leave PSG after they signed Lucas Chevalier as their new No 1. Donnarumma is keen to join a Premier League club. Leaving United, however, will probably be striker Rasmus Hojlund, who did not make the match-day squad to face Arsenal. 'We'll see what is going to happen on the market,' Amorim said. 'So, Rasmus has the same characteristics as [new signing] Benjamin Sesko, so we have to choose.' Amorim claimed Bayindir was fouled by William Saliba for the only goal of the game. 'It's not playing the ball. I understand we want goals, but when you are touching the goalkeeper... ' he said before conceding: 'We need to be stronger.' Mikel Arteta hailed the win as a 'big, big result' for Arsenal, especially as they were below par. 'First game of the season at Old Trafford, when you feel they are building something with new signings, when you are able to come away with a win you are very happy,' the Arsenal manager said. 'That gives you certainly momentum and confidence. Because you know that when you know your standards, in certain aspects, which today we weren't, we can still find a way to win the game. I look at the players' faces and they want much more.'
