Garages

In some areas, we let garages to used for the storing of private motor vehicles. If you wish to use rent a garage for storing other items you must first seek our written permission. We'll not grant permission for the storage of flammable or other dangerous substances.

Whether you’re a leaseholder or tenant of Bolton at Home or a private landlord, if you’re interested in applying for a garage or garage site, use the Homes for Bolton link below or email us on homefinderservices@boltonathome.org.uk for further details. 

All of our available garages are advertised on the Homes for Bolton website and are offered on a 'first come first served’ basis. If you're offered a garage we’ll make an appointment with you to sign an agreement. At the appointment we'll explain the tenancy terms and conditions, ask you to pay a week’s rent in advance and give you the keys.
