Its on an industrial estate in town not out in the sticks

 

not rent that matters its the rates that fuk it up

 

just testing the water to see if a place I have found is about the right $$$!

What are your rates Brom?

aLex

 

Aparently you don't have to pay rates if you are not running a business form the unit.

Hobby usage or storage is different.

Definatly worth a call to the rates dept of your local council.

I got away with it for 13 years in a farm.

 

well i did av 2700 sqft was paying 450 month and rates were 3000 a yr and 700 water rates

lookin to units in notts a 1200 sgft unit rates they want 2 grand the rent Ł3500

its diffent where u live

 

AlexF if you need someone to share the cost, i have a couple of mates tadley way that might be able to help out

 

i have 2500 square foot unit i pay Ł300 a months thats everything inc electric and water on ind estate in a big town.
i dont pay rates as its not a business

 

Jees.. Blackpool is expensive.

thats the same as around by me

 

They looking for somewhere to store there Beesom brooms?

 

Me and XRstu have 200,000 square feet downstairs and about 50,000 square feet upstairs
Not saying how much for as people will cry

 

Heres ours an its REALLY dirt cheap, not exactly sure how much space we have exactly but you cant beat these EX Government munition factories


Heres the "Tidy" one






Thats when we first moved in, heres pretty much now







8 cars pretty much live in there, some are dragged out so we can work on others, decent office space too


Heres the "nasty" one lol, directly next door




Theres now 2 40ft containers in there now as an office and pool room

Theres an identcal one to the left of the bus, wi access points between the two, floor is full of dirt so we have a couple of scramblers in there to use as our own indoor motoX track


Full services, cafe on site, 24/7 scurity and all camera'd up too....


and the price .......... Ł175pcm between 5 of us




CHIP still has the best unit EVER tho

 

Superb unit that Adam
And amazing price too

 

Ta mate, will get some pics of our motoX track this weekend, its piss funny but a decent size, can get some mental sppeds in there


Lets see some pics of yours again, its fookin mental

 

Adam, I can do better than pics

Will PM you.

 

LOL, quality mate

 

i should be hearing about the rates on the new one soon but the rent is 24k a year but it does have 2 ramps a 2 post lift a fully working body shop its been fully rewired with 3 faze and 240 with all new lighting and has a masive yard a 60ft steel container and a nice detached office

 

Fabulous plot Jacko.

 

good thing is its just over the road from the boro stadium so i can rent the yard out as match day parking do you think the rent is cheep because looking around it seems to be alot for the money

 

You wouldnt get that for Ł2K a month here pal. Nowhere near.

No idea over in your part of teh world though mate.

 

you fancy moving lol

 

i cant get jack shit in my area


plenty cow shit tho ,lol,

 

Iam looking at a unit 5 mins from my house, its 1000sqft the rent is Ł202 per month and the rates are about the same. Iam just waitng for the fooookers to move out now!

 

you guys are all really lucky

i dont have enough spare income to afford a unit to work on the car, although i am fortunate enough to have a drive.

will have to build a carport soon though

 

sorry andy, i don't get that is that cos i is not local?

 

mine is about 1400 sq ft.its Ł440p/m rent,Ł120 p/m rates,Ł40/50 p/m elec,and for a tap and a toilet its Ł40 p/m!

they are old buildings and very cold but the only place around here that will allow motor trade

 

there is some realy mint new ones just been finnished near here but they wont alow motor trade

 

Cheers for the info guys.... keep it coming!

Alex

 

Yep thats exactly same as where i live ,brand new units smart as fook ,good level plenty parking outside and NO MOTOR TRADE ALLOWED ,i asked for car valeting and they were not interested ,the scumbags but seem hapier for them to sit empty

 

its always the same

 

thats what i think too as im going to start suplying performance parts to i thought it would be better to have a swanky place as it would be btter for customers and looks better for me but all thats in there head is bits of shite every where and ail and rubish if you are wanting to do valeting then you would do better as a mobile valiter that way you can also clean drives paths hoises and graffiti make extra cash when things are slow

 

Yes mate! I lived in Tadley for 18 years, all it's famous for is Besom Brooms and Gypsies. I still love the place though.

Andy

 

not very good pic but its a bit messy

 

Got to ask why rent ?? just thowing money down the drain

Buy is the best way

 

Alex.. I may , If you have space.. want to store my blue mini

 

the 'unit' me and chip have is good, but fuck me is it unpleasant working in there on your own at night

im not being a poof, its just one of the eiriest places to be alone in the dark and we know people have been breaking in on a regular basis in the past, never know who could be lurking in there, you wouldnt know until they crept up and wrapped a metal bar round your head

 

is that the aircraft hanger sized place
