  • I've been trying to open a spot like this up my way, more for bicycle but also space for upto 10 motorbikes, not full service kit, but space for you to wash down and tinker a bit. Keep finding reasonable units but as soon as they get wind of wgat the business will be (I.e not a vape or betting shop) They can't fob me off quickly enough, likely gonna have to buy premise, which ups the risk (and therfore cost to end user) massively. Expected insurance to be the killer but it's actually not terrible

  • Whereabouts is that? And what sort of price range are freehold units?

    From the quick look I've had its usually car storage that also does motorcycles. Doing a motorcycle + bicycle is an interesting one as you wouldn't need anywhere near the total space you would for cars.

  • Not terrible, just landlords/owners seem to keep hold of the ideal ones (for me) off the market, yet empty and likely they are paying rates on an empty unit, baffles me why#

    #well it doesn't, either they want to keep it empty to demonstrate that actually flattening all commercial units that aren't in perfect condition and re zoning the land for housing development is more profitable, or they have other units thry can't shift, so flooding market with every bit of random commercial property doesn't help anyone (who is a property owner looking to get rid)
