I've been asked to make an offer for a pair of garages that are in the grounds of the flat block that I live in. They're side by side, but each has their own lease - with apparently different periods left to run.
I did try to buy the left hand one before, around five years ago - the lady who owned it wanted 20k which I didn't want to pay.
I think that a single garage would add around 10k value to the flat, and a double (potentially with the dividing wall removed, although I'm assuming that that would have a raft of legal issues to deal with) would add more. I very much don't think that they are worth 40k, as they need fairly extensive maintenance work.
Our flat was meant to have a garage, when it didn’t they knocked £5k off the price- this was ten years ago, I’d say a garage would add £10k to the flat easily now, maybe £15k.

Is garage valuation a thing?
