Illustrative annual return from a garage
A garage rented for £150 per occupied month with ten occupied months produces £1,500 gross annually. Assuming 10% platform charges and £180 of annual additional costs, the simple pre-tax cash-flow estimate is £1,170. That works out to £97.50 per calendar month across the year, despite the £150 advertised monthly rent.
Compare with keeping it vacant
Before renting, consider access arrangements, lease restrictions, insurance, security and the possibility of damage. The forecast should reflect the potential time and risk associated with managing the arrangement.
