We have learned from Grainger plc, who are the managing agents for the remaining properties owned by Northumberland & Durham, that N&D are now selling the garages still owned by them. There are about eleven garages available, spread across the three garage blocks, which are being sold for £10,000 each. Enquiries should be made to Amanda Royle of Graingers at ARoyle@graingerplc.co.uk.
Although we cannot make any recommendations, we have found a solicitor who can carry out the transaction at a cost of £350 plus VAT and plus disbursements (searches, etc). He is John Brindley of Gilbert Stephens LLP, Southernhay East, Exeter, telephone number 01392 424242.
It is important to note that the lease stipulates that garages can be bought only by leaseholders.
