barn rent?


Recommended Posts

Just met the farmer who showed me a barn (i reckon it was 10m X 7m)

I said it would be great for storing firewood (no electric or security eg.no door) but it had 3 sides and a kent peg roof.

Balked slightly when he mentioned the rent he wanted..

£10 per square meter per quarter,

on my sums that works out as 70 sq meters @ £10= £700 per quarter or £2800 per year!( i think i worked that out right?)

bit steep or is it me?

It would be cheaper for me to buy a couple of acres of woodland wouldn't it?

For £3.5k per quarter I rent out a workshop that is 14m wide x 18m long with 240v & 414v power + water, WC & a 4.5m high roller shutter door witch is wide enough to get 3 trucks threw at once complete with a full length pit, also side office in the building + an external office 40m away in a small office block & 75m x 15m + 10m x 15m parking area’s for truck “operating centres”

 

So it strikes me that £700 per quarter for a 10m X 7m barn with 1 open side is far to high.

 

It maybe the farmer is having to factor in the “change of use” factor with a planning & rating change with the council as well as loss of part of the SFP?

I'm building a shed in my yard this year, including planning its going to cost about £2500, thats for 18 x 6M. I hadn't realised how much these things cost to rent. Why not rent a bit of ground long term and then build a shed on it in such a way that it could be taken down and moved if necessary.

£700 per quarter would pay a £45k mortgage! imagine what you could buy for that.:heeeelllllooooo:

This is a farmer we're talking about?? I doubt very much whether most farmers would bother applying for a change of use just for someone to store a few logs.
