So to summarise we have
6 people (Andrew and Chris' friend is also in)
looking for dry storage for 8 cars (we counted 7 on the night I think, but I added one for me)
Enough space to work on several at a time.
Electricity is a must, water would be nice to have too.
Not so dry storage for a few more cars would be useful.
within 20 mins of both Cov and Warwick, so in between the two would be ideal.
Budget - I guess we assess each one as it comes, but for me £100/month is a max.
Other requirements? For me it needs to have a doorway able to accommodate a ~7'4" car. So if that becomes a sticking point it'll be 5 people with 7 cars...

I aggre with you Tristan £100/month max is a must for me also. Perhaps a club formed? with its own account that people pay into and the the unit/workshop rental paid from that as I don't think a Landlord would be willing to accept seven individual payments. On some of the commercial property sites its also mentioned that the prospective tennant would be responsible for Solicitors fees so possible extra cost there.
now that sounds interesting  An approx square footage of 8 cars is 720sqft so with work space and storage another say 300sqft and extra storage space of another 200sqft thats 1200sqft aprox, does that keep us under rateable size or is that dependent on something else? |

Not sure I agree with the square footage, the unit I saw last week was 1100sqft and would never have fit 8 cars. Depends on layout, but I'd say we want a minimum of 1500sqft (based on a little less than 3x6m being standard garage size) I'll have a browse of property websites at lunch and see what I can dig up about minimum size/other factors for business rates. |

I've been too busy to arrange to meet up with my possible contact. That Stratford place looks good Dan, but the ones under the bridge in Leam are pretty small - only good for a couple of people really.

Stafford one looks a good unit, but does push it right to the limit in terms of both distance and price when you factor in VAT. I'm happy to compromise on one of those but I'd sooner not on both unless it's the only option. It's big enough that we could have more people on board, and they also mention flexible terms, so that's two options.

Stratford unit does look good but too far for me.

Anyone had any luck the last few days? Andrew, how you getting on with that guy?

No progress. Clearly not interested. I'll keep trying to get through to him, but it's not looking good.

That's lame, want me to have a crack at it? Never heard back from that Stratford one, but it wasn't really suitable anyway so I didn't chase it. I'll be moving the Mini on the 21st, into the little £6p/w garage in Warwick so it would be handy to find somewhere with space to carry on with it soon. Anyone else seen anything?

Hey guys,
Sorry I've gone silent on this - I need to sort housing for myself before I house the car again.

I dunno if it's of any interest to you fellas, as I know it's a bit far, but Daventry Council have some 1000sq ft units at £500 pcm

I've only just spotted this and gutted ! I live about 30 seconds from The Fat Pug ! wish i'd of known, i'd have popped along  . Space is a huge problem in Leamington, a mate used to have a car sales yard at the bottom of town but it's flats now  . I've got a single up and over lock up but i don't think it's big enough to get my Princess in ( even if i did clear it all out ! ). That's too bad, though I think we are due another meetup very soon to keep it on the bubble. I think Daventry will be a stretch for us lot, and the price:space isn't really suitable either. |

Alright chaps, I might be interested in getting in on this. There might be some lockups in Coventry available if that's OK for location?

I'm based in Coventry, while I probably couldn't afford to put in for rent on a unit atm (though might need some space in the future), I wouldn't mind hanging about if any help swinging spanners is needed?  |

I shall put myself back in as an interested party. Lately things have been a little hands on deck regarding the cars!
