Default Do you rent a garage? how much??

I'm looking at renting a garage locally, i have found a number of garages I think are owned by the council, its difficult to get any info from them, so I wondered what people pay to store their cars/ tools or whatever in a garage.

yes mate try hte housing department first, I just rang the council and got told there was only 4 garages in my area and they were taken so got put on a list, contacted housing department and they said it was a load of bollox and there were about 10 empty and could take my pick
I've been on the council list for 3yrs or more now and still nothing had a letter 2/3 mounths ago asking if we wanted one as there was some coming up to rent but heard fook all since
Also there terms and condison are ONLY STORAGE FOR A CAR WHICH IS FULLY ROAD WORTHY IE TAX MOT'd ect ect But do whot others do and dont worry about that bit lol


i have a garage now off a Building Company which we rent are house off and its Ł10 awk but is Bone Dry and not tooooooooo small

my mates mum has a farm house but she's no farmer so i have a barn there with more than enough space i could get about 3 cars in it with heating & electricity

it also has a loft thing with a setee & tv

60quid a month so its well handy

ask th local farmers that you would be willing to pay them?

it would be better if you knew them cos theres allot that wouldnt want loud engines in there garden
