I have a couple of Lock up garages I have owned for a long time, mostly full of junk.
I was thinking of clearing one out and renting it out.
Has any one done this? What should I charge etc?
Its a standard garage but also has room out side for one vehicle parked in front of it.

I was in a similar position last year with alock up I had owned for 25 years and was mainly full of junk.

I emailed several of the local estate agents and 2 were very keen to help to my suprise

One found someone prepared to rent at £1000 per year and the other found a buyer a £10k. garages round here rent for £50ish a month.

I finnished up selling the garage and either sold, scrapped or threw out most of the contents and kept very little of what was in there.

I would personally only let it through a agency to cut down the hassle.

I doubt they would fetch £10,000 up north

Sorry for the lateness of the reply, but if it helps, I rent a lock up garage from my local council for my Herald. It costs me about £12 a week.

It's a standard size garage.
