Building a shed just to rent out

[Adam@Rumen]

Hi

We rent some old sheds out here, and constantly get asked if we have any availability. This is for a wide range of things from car workshops, van conversions, small offices, business storage and everything in between.

Has anyone put any sheds up for the sole purpose of renting them out? What did you decide to build? I’d be hesitant about doing anything specific as you never know how long these guys are going to be in for.

Or just whack a big shed up and split the inside somehow.

Cheers

Put an ag shed up and wait ten years?

If your units are legit and paying rates you might have a chance of more.

If you can wait 10 years then that is an option but you would need to justify the need on an agricultural basis now and hope Permitted Development rights don't change in the next 10 years.
Alternatively, seek planning for Class E buildings on the farm as part of a diversification strategy.

Would class E mean proper planning application fees?

Yes

 

[Lakesdigger]

Yes

I thought so, definitely worth consulting someone local to their area about the chances of it happening before applying then.

Give us a shout if you like. With planning it isn't necessary to know the area, just where to find the planning policies. We have worked for forum members nationwide.

Already done it and just over £1800 later i got planning so it's all good (it was very unlikely it wasn't going to go through though) but thanks.

Give me a ring Adam, friend up the road from me has good experience of doing just this, I would be more than happy to pass his details over.

Most of the building we currently do are build to let, a lot of commercial but also like the attached quite a lot through as agricultural but built to industrial spec with the plan to split and let.

Thats a lovely looking shed ,Looks well thought out

Doing quite a few at the moment.

What can you get planning for? Go as high as you can and plan for extensions in time.

It depends on what use class you can get and what demand you have.

Should be able to in 5-8 yrs these days if you own the land - beats farming!!
