How to find a garage ?
 

Hi,

Because my bike will be here in February, I have started to look for a garage to let because nothing comes with my little flat. I looked on the website www.friday-ad.co.uk and there is just one in a village around and the price is £100 a month...

Do you have any idea where I could find one ? I live in East Gristead.

Thanks,
Tonio.

try the local council, they usually have stacks of empty ones for around £30 a month.

1st thing you would have to do would be to increase security though. Those garages are a piece of p**s to get into.

Hi,

I had the same problem about 4 months ago and ended up printing 200 A4 flyers off at work and spent two mornings putting them under garage doors. Took a couple of weeks, but had five offers at the end of it. Now paying £27/month for a detached garage with loads of roof space for storage. :D

Also worth aksing at some of the bigger country houses if they've got stables, barns, etc that they're not using.

Cheers,

Other than that try the ad boards in local shops, classified ads in local newspapers, Loot (available online too), etc.

council garages in east Grinstead? I don't think so. You have to be on at least £50k a year before they will let you walk down their high street:lol:

Thanks all, I think I am going to put some adverts in my home's around...

A|re you on the ground floor......Id use my front room. :lol:

Rocker - you've obviously not been to East Grinstead lately. Got into work last Monday to find 24 panes of glass smashed over four offices. About the tenth time in a year we've had smashed windows. £650 just to board them up. EG is not a classy place :(

Tonio - you might have some joy with the local housing authorities. I've posted you a list of the most likely ones. Otherwise try the ads in the Observer.

Hi Lizzie, thanks a lot for that. :)

I've just gotten back from one of the those self-storage places and they had a load of motorhomes and cars in there as well as the locked rooms. I am looking for some extra space as well to move out furniture that belongs to the house so I can use all the garage space as a workshop. You might want to look at some form of self storage? Loknstore was the one I looked at.

May or may not help but you never know ..
