One thing to look at is the security it needs to be pikey proof the isurance may want redcare or something similar
when I had a lock up for my building company I was rammed thro the shutters had bars cut out the windows hole cut in the roof had a hole cut thro a steel container and a few more over a 3 year period
it's costly

You may want to edit that post richy as it does not sound very good m8

I won't quote Richy'as post in case he wants to delete it but I suppose ytou could grpow other stuff in there if you have spare room.  Play it right and you might not need to buy any veg all year.

You have already quoted his post above lol, you too may want to edit  that

No I haven't.  I quoted your post

thanks for the replys didnt think it would be this popular....

Im going to speak to a few people tomoorw about viewing some units ..

to keep 3 vans, have an office and toilet in a unit how many square feet would i need?

Not dealt with sq.ft before so i dont really know how to scale it

[Rcs]

best to take a look at a few in varying size and price
what your man said earlier
what they want  for the lease and what they get are 2 different things the current market is on your side
try to tie yourself in on a short lease with a option to extend at the same rate
try for initial rent free period
watch the business rates  especially when they go up in april i hear there is going to be some large hikes
good luck happy hunting

In answer to your question on size required, around 1200sqft which should include at least one office, toilet &kitchen area. A round here prices are £4.5k to £5.5 for that sort, but, you need to allow for rates which is approx 50% o annual fee (This can be halved with local council small business reduction if it applies)

I have 750sqft, in mine i have locker area, storage area, various equipment, sink with coing & tea making facilites, washer & tumble dryer. A 3500 static tank &ro. Pressure washers, storage cupboard & portable system. Work bench, tools & spares, these are all on outside wall & finally we can fit 2 vans in.

So as you can see you can fit a lot in a small unit, mine is£300 per month & all bills. But its a faily new modern pupose built one on an estate.

I have also seen Robs unit & that is more than twice the size of mine, & exceptional good value & is very good unit. Take Robs advice & approach farmers etc as you do get a very ood deal

Gary what area are you in  ?

[Rob_Mac]

Gary is from Gayland.

Down on Gay boy street - Cannock way - do you know ive been over there a few times and I haven't got a clue. I need to get off the dependancy on my sat nav

Rob

[Rob_Mac]

I need to add that Gary is not gay - it is just where he lives and also I have no problem with people who want to be gay. Just not my cup of tea!!!

Rob

[gary evans]

Cheers for that Rob, glad you added the second txt.

Windowwashers we are in Cannock, midlands.

The main reason for this one is its central location, easy access to all major routes & 5 minutes from my house. We are on the A5, at the end of toll road, next to the a34 & less than 3 minutes to M6.
