How much is a garage worth?

crankup

Us with motorbikes rate a garage highly. Ideally the car is on the drive and the bike is in the garage.
Unless you got a double garage - now you're talking!

We own a small rented house without a garage and it is hard to let out as a consequence. Also on a more personal note, even though I am not a car-proud person, I would have to have a garage to store junk and lawnmowers etc. and would be prepared to pay for it.

Also, I'd suggest there is zero value attached to a garage if you have a driveway or OSP.

When you do eventually buy a house let us know where and we'll be round for your lawnmower and your bicycles left on the drive

As others have said, garages do have value, it varies how much, but they'll pretty much always attract a premiums

Strangely, I keep the lawnmower in the shed and the bikes....in the shed.

I keep the car in the driveway.

If I have any crap, I throw it away, I don't hoard it in a garage.

But then I'm old fashioned.

Having lived in London, OSP was all I cared about.

all depends on location doesn't it then, as you say London any parking is a bonus, where I am people look for garages to store their summer soft tops/trailers/boats/jetskis/motorbikes/freezers/tumbledriers, cars go on the driveway likewise still in most cases. Also means you don't need a shed. Entirely dependent on circumstances but as I said, it pretty much most cases a garage will attract a premium, the amount varies but there is always a value.

If you're in Notting Hill and have a 2 car garage in a good location, it can fetch 240k apparently! Saw an article about this in this morning's Metro.

I have just sold my flat and it has a garage with power at the bottom of the garden. I expected most of the viewers to be keen bikers or those with a cherished car but the majority just saw it as an extra space to store stuff.
