I am considering buying a garage for storage space and use as a workshop for building models. An example of something under £10k (auction guide price) is here:
...about buying garages:
- How well do garages keep their value over the years?
- Will it be difficult to get a landline, plumbing, gas and electricity in?
- What is the likelihood of planning permission being granted a few years down the line to convert a garage into a studio flat?
- What can go wrong with a garage and how badly can the future sale price be affected?
...about buying in auctions:
- Is it worth getting a surveyor to look at the property?
- Generally, will the guide price be close to the sale price?
- If planning permission to convert the garage into a dwelling could be secured, how much will it raise the subsequent auction price by?
Thanks for any advice.
