Garages


We recognise that renting a garage can be essential for many of our customers.  That’s why we manage our garage rental process and termination of garages effectively.

Garage availability can depend on the area you live as we don’t have garages in all the areas where we have properties. Expand the section below about renting a garage to find out where we have garages and apply.

Renting a garage

If you would like to enquire about renting a garage in your local area, you can:

Please make sure that you're able to pay for the garage and that it's only for your personal use and not to be used commercially. Once we receive your enquiry we will get back to you within five working days.

Garage FAQs

Who can apply for a garage?

We rent out garages to both our residents (tenants, leaseholders and shared-owners) and non-residents, however - non-residents will have a lower priority than residents. Please note that the prices differ between people who have a connection with Southern Housing Group and those who don't. People who don't have a connection to the Group, and commercial organisations will be charged VAT. Southern Housing Group residents (or non-residents) will be charged VAT for a second or subsequent garage.

How do we allocate garages?

We allocate garages on a first come first served basis. However, we give priority to our residents who have a Blue Badge. You can submit your interest in a garage by using the form below or by contacting our Customer Service Centre. Once a garage becomes available, we will get in touch to confirm the pricing and to help with any questions you may have. Should you wish to go ahead, we’ll post you two copies of our garage licence for you to sign; one is for you to keep and the other copy will need to be sent back to us using the prepaid envelope that is sent with the licences. Once the licence has been returned, we will contact you to take your first month’s rent payment as well as helping you set up a direct debit for future payments. When this is all complete we’ll send you the keys or code to the garage.

What can I store in a garage?

You can use your garage to store a vehicle or your personal goods and furniture, but we ask that you don’t use it as a workshop. We do not allow you to store commercial goods, perishable goods, illegal goods, un-taxed or un-roadworthy vehicles, flammable or explosive substances in the garage.
