Can't even pop round the local farms in the current climate either. and i'd dread to think about rent prices now as well. Ironic thing is i have a huge garden to build a workshop in but it's not accessible by road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sierra3dr 36 Posted March 18, 2021 When you do find one,they are 2K a month once all the fees have been chucked on. last year I had the battle to find another one for £350 because the landlord has come to the conclusion to knock them down due to flood damage to the rear wall. The same landlord offered me one 25 miles away which I had to take,compared to the one I did have,4 miles away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easier i suppose if you can share the rent with one or two more people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lotuscops 73 Posted March 24, 2021 Build one in the garden & get a crane in when it's done Brian - cheaper in the long run and safer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only drawback on that,is that the person(s) you share with might decide to pack up later in the contract,leaving you with the larger rent fee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually,people need a car lift/post which requires an extra height in the building,which won't sit well with the local council Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phorbiuz 36 Posted April 9, 2021 I have a crappy old unit in the basement of an old mill. It's dirt cheap but damp. I've been trying in my neck of the woods (WA10) for years to find something better but better = expensive. Most of the old unit style things that we would have had have been knocked down over the years for development. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
