Hi there,
I have a small holding of 1.6 acres in total. The land is in a long, thin triangle, with road frontage along the longest edge. The land is divided into 2 plots of .8 acres. There are 2 ponies in one half, and my small cottage, undergoing extensive renovation sits in the other corner. The ponies are going to move into the half acre across the fence when they've eaten the grass in the side they're on, to give the land a rest.
I've been asked to rent out 1/4 acre, the best place being behind my cottage in one corner, to a man who wants to store firewood for chopping and selling. He'd be interested in renting it for 6 months to a year. He could have access to an old pitch roofed corrugated iron clad shed with this, or not. How much do I charge, with or without shed?? It wouldn't really disturb me too much, as I'm renovating the house at the moment and so am not living there and won't be for at least another 6 months. However, would mean noise, wood chopping, vans in and out etc. Another activity on site etc.
The smallholding is in East Limerick, Republic of Ireland. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks!
