Investments in parking spaces are becoming increasingly popular. There are good reasons for this. They generate high returns compared to other real estate. If you want to compare different forms of investment, you will see that parking spaces offer a particularly attractive return with low risk. But what are the costs of garages made up of? And why are they a good investment?

In this blog article, we shed light on the factors that influence prices. We also explain why entering the “garage market” can be worthwhile. Garages are a clever solution for those who want to achieve higher profits with a manageable investment.

 

Why are the yields so high?

Prefabricated garages often offer above-average returns compared to traditional residential properties or commercially used buildings. This is due to several factors: compared to apartments or houses, they are significantly cheaper. A single garage can be purchased for as little as EUR 5,000, which also makes them interesting for private investors. In contrast to residential properties, there are hardly any running costs for prefabricated garages. There is no costly maintenance, and the ancillary costs for the tenant are minimal. In urban areas or densely populated residential areas, the demand for parking spaces and garages remains consistently high. Especially in city centers, tenants are willing to pay high sums for secure parking spaces. As the rental costs for garages are low, most tenants can easily bear these expenses. This reduces the risk of non-payment. Garages are not only important for parking vehicles. They can also be used as storage space or small workshops. This offers an excellent opportunity to generate additional income.

 

Our guide prices for garages

The right garage for every requirement – our wide selection offers you tailor-made solutions for your needs. Prices vary between EUR 5,000 and EUR 30,000 depending on the equipment and size. Compared to many other properties, prefabricated garages offer an attractive return on investment – even without a large budget. The single garage (approximately 3 × 6 meters) provides a compact but functional storage space. If you need more space, you can choose a double garage. This is about 6 × 6 meters in size. A recess in the middle wall offers additional flexibility. The wide garage (approx. 3.45 × 6 meters) with a particularly wide door offers even more space. The large-capacity garage is ideal for plenty of space without a central wall. It is approximately 6 × 6 meters in size. There is enough space for vehicles and additional storage space. If you want protection and an open roof, a garage carport (approx. 3 × 6 meters) is a good choice. This variant combines the advantages of a garage and carport and offers flexible protection for your vehicle. The garage with extension (approx. 3 × 9 meters) is an excellent choice. It offers space for storage, hobby rooms, or a workshop. The extension creates additional space for various purposes. Whether a single, double, or large garage or a model with a carport or extension, there are numerous solutions. So everyone can find the right garage for their needs.

But why does …

… a carport costs just as much as a single garage? Although less material (concrete) is required, the production costs are higher.

But why is the price for …

… a center wall recess higher than for a closed wall? Because the production is more complex and more steel is also required for stability.

But why is the price for …

… the large-capacity garage so high? The door is very expensive, and the garage also has to withstand considerably higher static loads.

Additional extras such as doors, windows or lighting drive up the costs. If the foundation is created by ZAPF and not by you, the costs will also increase.

Although garages are inexpensive to run, there are some running costs that should be taken into account: Insurance (e.g. against vandalism or theft) and minor repairs and maintenance (e.g. on the garage door).

Prices vary depending on the type of construction, possible additional costs and ongoing operating costs.
