Renting a unit - Lwilliams - 29-06-2015
Quick question for anyone with or had a unit:
What sort of running costs are there or isit all in?
I'm looking at one with 1500 sqft big I know but theres hardly any around me that accept car work "/ to be carried out.
Anything I should look out for or tips or anything let me know please?
RE: Renting a unit - Dum-Dum - 29-06-2015
Really depends where inthe country you are. In outer london a tiny single garage could be £40-£120/month and out in the middle of nowhere a massive unit that would hold 9 cars is £250 odd (like Zakk and Matt have)
RE: Renting a unit - Lwilliams - 29-06-2015
The one I was looking at is 460 a month, I don't know if that's all in, there's a service charge as well of 1200 a year but it seems to be a decent size... Going to ring him tomorrow to book a appointment to view
RE: Renting a unit - C2K - 29-06-2015
That's money that could buy a house... With a garage...
RE: Renting a unit - Lwilliams - 29-06-2015
Got a garage "/ not big enough....
RE: Renting a unit - adam b - 29-06-2015
Get a break clause at 6 months, speak to others locally to find out what they pay.
£460 should get you a pretty big place. Is that plus vat, services and business rates?
RE: Renting a unit - Pebbles167 - 29-06-2015
Friend rents a 8m x 4m converted barn unit at £200 a month near castle combe. Worth chatting to farmers as they often have this kind of stuff.
RE: Renting a unit - Lwilliams - 30-06-2015
In total it will be around 680 a month with vat added and service charge there is no business rates... not sure about electric and water though...
not sure if this will work

Get friendly with guys locally with big gardens/out buildings, using a mates 8*20 metre Barn. Free of charge
RE: Renting a unit - Matt-Rallye - 01-07-2015
Wow thats a fair size!
Didnt realise you were only just down the valley, im often down abergavenny and always end up at tiffins in Cwmbran for an all you can eat indian
With regards too the unit i would get it in your name and then maybe sub let a bit of space out to mates / charge them storage for cars which is what i do
soon brings the price down considerably
RE: Renting a unit - C2K - 01-07-2015
f*ck me 700 month? Gotta be able to buy a mansion for that in Wales! thats crazy money for a unit. Can think of a lot I'd rather do with that...
RE: Renting a unit - welshpug - 01-07-2015

Oi what you doing in my town lol
Look for something in cwmbran/pontypool dirt cheap down here
RE: Renting a unit - Lwilliams - 01-07-2015
Yeah I know "/ having 2nd thoughts now seems alot but would be going in half's with my dad but still even then it's a lot.... Think I may just keep an eye out for somthing smaller, at most it will be around 5 cars. It's just every company I have rang and spoke to around here don't allow car activities.
Thanks for the advice and that anyway

Best off finding a smaller local industrial estate thats all privately owned. Make some enquiries and speak directly with the landlord. i pay £200 a month for mine and mine has decent security, space inside for 3-4 cars and a secure yard that can hold another 5-6 vehicles. and thats including VAT!

As said already, that is insane money. You'd need to be running a decent business from there to make those numbers work.
RE: Renting a unit - silverzx - 02-07-2015
I'm tempted to get a unit, buy a load of shagged gym equipment (mostly free weights), put a counter and till in and open a sand/sawdust style gym.
Have a car outside of it for sale constantly, charge £25 a month for unlimited use.
Can't cost that much right?
Self employed ambitions yo. <3

I had that thought as well.
There's a guy in my town who admittedly has always been into powerlifting etc. who set up his own gym with mostly 2nd hand equipment that he bought all in one go, I think at an auction or something from another gym that went bankrupt and is now doing extremely well for himself.

£700 a month is more than I pay for rent and bills in a reasonably expensive part of the UK, plus I'd still have enough spare for diesel as well. And I have unlimited free parking...
Seriously though, never expected a warehouse to cost that much!

I haven't got time to sit and commit 2 hours of my life to a film that I probably won't enjoy.
Man got business to tend to.
