Owning a car is expensive. There's the cost of insurance, tax, maintenance and petrol.

But, if you live in London, you also have to worry about parking it.

And in west London, a parking space could cost you the price of a house.

Because this space has gone on sale in South Kensington for a whopping £390,000.

Yep, it'll cost you more to buy a safe place to park your Lamborghini than you actually spent on the Lamborghini.

To be fair, it's a 'spacious triple bay' - so you could probably fit three of your supercars in. But for almost £400k we would be hoping for a lot more than a bit of floor to park your motor.

Kingston House car park

It's not just any old parking space. This one boasts "an exceptional location" in an "exquisite" underground parking development in South Kensington - with valet service and 24 hour security.

Get a little bit more for your money

Pricey, but this isn't an isolated case. In Hill Street, London, you can get a little bit more for your money with a fancy DOUBLE parking space "arranged as a self-contained garage" within an underground car park - for £375,000.

This could be yours - for just £375,000!

On a budget?

Well the next one, in Queensway, is a snip at £100,000. Nope, not the house - the parking space.

Does it at least come with the basement?

What could £390k get you elsewhere in the country?

If you fancy having, well, a roof over your head, then your money might be better spent elsewhere.

In Newcastle-upon-Tyne, you can pick up this charming five-bedroom DETACHED house for £390,000.

In Newcastle, you can get a whole HOUSE for £390k

And guess what? It comes with a parking garage!

In Perranporth, Cornwall, you can buy a three-bedroom detached bungalow AND still have £50 leftover, with a price tag of £389,950.

You'd be the proud owner of this stunning view...

How about this for a view?

...and best of all, the house comes with "a large triangular garden plot with oversized detached garage and off-road parking for five cars". FIVE cars!

If you're looking for something with a bit more character, you can snap up a Grade II-listed cottage in Neston, Cheshire, for £389,950.

Your own little piece of history

The early Victorian build has only got two bedrooms, but comes with large gardens, a sun room and a very long driveway - think how many cars you could park on that!
