Renting a Garage - Bournemouth
Discussion
Guys I'm in the middle of a house/flat purchase and need a bit of advice.
The property comes with a detached double garage as pictured here:
According to the current owners it is let out for £100pm and has been for at least four years (whilst they have lived there). From what they say they barely see the guy who lets it out so it seems like a good situation. Now my issue is I could do with rental income to start with whilst I get settled, but within 6-12months I will want to stop the agreement and make good the space inside for my toy, assuming it fits through the narrow doors! (currently sat in a carcoon). I inspected the garage yesterday and in places it is shoulder height full of rubble/bricks/wood and apparently carpets he keeps on the upper floor. There is no written agreement in place and I'm quite worried about being lumbered with the cost of disposal if things turn out unsavoury (it could even be the current owners mess for all I know!).
Questions:
- Would anyone advise whether to carry this agreement over to my ownership?
- If I cancel the agreement and make sure the owner clears the garage prior to exchange (my current thinking) is £100pm easily obtainable in this area?
- Should a written agreement be written up?
- Would it be silly to clean the garage up and offer it out to a car enthusiast with options for carcoon/trickle charging in place?
Thankyou in advance for any suggestions

Thanks for the replies
Nick - Sound advice which I plan on sticking to
Dan - Will do
Martin, whereabouts in Wallidown were you living? I know Turbary has a nasty reputation but I worked on Wallidown road for 4+ years and had no problems, seems the estate areas are best left alone.
