What are the types of business' that he has attracted office or light industrial?One of my customers has converted all the buildings on one of his farms to industrial units, says they make him more money with less hassle, always looks strange though seeing expensive machinery parked in a grass field next to the farm.
I think it's a mix of both, but not too sure as I have only been in the field with the machinery, never made it into the yard.What are the types of business' that he has attracted office or light industrial?
I have a lot of demand for small units for tradesmen to store tools etc about 15 x 20 containers era also good for this. Several peopke in this area rent then out for storage and cant seem to keep up with demand going rate anything from £ 50 to 80 a month. Better to have lots of small customers than one big one,What are the types of business' that he has attracted office or light industrial?
Do these attract business rates, what are the security arrangements, access etc. We have an old grain store 40 feet x 105 feet, with a adjoining hay barn ,not quite as wide ,also we r close to M9 motorway . What's the downfalls ?
Yes they will attract rates but subject to size there are reliefs for ex farm buildings up to a certain size, security depends on whats being stored, location etc. that is a fair size unit so in some ways may be harder to let than small ones, may be easier to use an agent to find a tenant. Downsides are few IMO, some dont like the idea of others on their property and not good if they dont pay the rent, thats why I like smaller units as if one doesnt pay its not such a loss, it is a good return on capital but repairs etc must be done and it helps if you are a people person
I hope you don't mind me asking but what's your most popular building size? And do they have shared facilities or do they all have individual loos and kitchens?
The farmer where we are based has started to rent out shipping containers to one man bands, can't seem to get enough in has 5 on order and I think each one has already been ear marked for tenants
£200 month here for 20ft container.It it a purpose built site with CCTV, or just stacking them around the farm buildings?
What's he charging?
