Garage rent increase agreed in Nairnshire 2025/26

Garage rents for the Nairnshire area will increase by 20% for 2025/26 as agreed at today’s Area Committee.

Councillor Michael Green, Chair of the Nairnshire Area Committee, said: “Garages and garage sites within Nairnshire are competitively priced, and even taking today’s agreed increase into account, our rates still sit below the average across all other areas in Highland.

“Equally, we recognise that the majority of our garages are used by local residents for storage purposes, with the Council’s offering at a fraction of the cost of commercial solutions.”

Garage Rent for Council Tenants will increase by £1.60 to £9.62. Meanwhile, Garage Rent for non-tenants will go up by £1.92 to £11.54 per week.

For Garage Sites, the weekly rent for Council Tenants will increase to £1.12. Garage Site Rent for Non-Tenants will also increase to £1.34.

As a result, the increase will bring a total of £21,949.78 annually based on current occupancy.
