need a bit of advice... renting a workshop...

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

The unit I'm renting is behind a parade of shops, less than a mile from my house.. It had been left empty for two years.. The owner would still of had to pay the standing electricity charge on the property.. That would of been a bill of about £730.. Just to have it stood there empty.

He had been approached by several people trying to rent it but out of sheer laziness he didn't bother.. Mrs Newtomud phoned him every day.. That pee'd him off and eventually he rented it to us for our best offer.. This took months to do and after all that, Mrs Newtomud convinced him to give us a months free rent just to clean the place up and to fit a couple of sheets of plaster board to the ceiling.. Result :thumbup:
Oh and the entrance between the shops has a seven foot locked steel gate.. Make sure any farm building you look at are secure

To me that doesn't sound like too bad a price if it includes electricity, it's bigger than some of the ones I was getting quoted around £200 a month for and that didn't include electricity, I got lucky with mine and someone had literally just moved out and my mate is in the units behind mine. I pay £200 a month and electricity on top by the unit but that is very cheap for the area I'm in and as I said it does depend where in the country you are as prices vary quite a lot!

You can pick workshop space up pretty cheap round my way if you shop about but soon as you tell them its to be used for working on cars the price rockets or the door shuts.

They only rent clean workshops in Darlington so it seems.
