Shed/barn rental (how much £?)

[Boso]

Hi guys, have lambed outside since 2015 because I have no barn or shed. Have been fine without it.
Have sometimes looked into erecting a poly tunnel, might do so in the future, but would require permission from municipality.

Have come across a barn (former pig barn) I can rent for 8-12 weeks.
Water and power available.
How much rent per month would be reasonable?

Not sure. How many ewes would use it??

Off the top of my head £50/week, you pay water bill/leccy bill at end and return a clean shed in the state you found it??

 

[Boso]

125 ewes for maybe 8 weeks.
Will probably lamb outside last week of febr again. Was a bit of a gamble to put the ram in so soon. Weather has been miserable for weeks.
Lambing season 2022 will be april/may again.

I’d have shed this year this cold looks set to continue

What ever size his pig shed was? Big enough for 130 ewes too lamb presumably. I’d have thought 60x40 more than big enough for the task. My thinking being that former pig sheds tend not too lend themselves too many other uses? Too low and split up?

UK: Small shed industrial rent 2022 | Statista

The price per square foot of smaller industrial warehousing in the United Kingdom as of January 2022 was more expensive than that of larger warehousing.

My prices are somewhat out of date.

Gloucester £8

Bristol £9.5

These are industrial spec, but should give you a starting point.

Commercial real estate can often have a gross annual renewal yield in excess of 30% of value.

I am talking agriculture not industrial.

Many times that's due to location and land ownership

The same agent that told me those rates for industrial dry storage quoted £3/sq ft for cattle sheds.
