Value of buying a parking spot when buying apartment
Hello,
I bought an apartment a few years ago, but didn't buy a parking spot (or "cave"). How much of a disadvantage is it not to have a parking spot to sell when selling an apartment? A neighbour around the corner is selling an underground parking spot - I'm wondering whether I should buy it...
Advice?
Err... Where do you live, and have you got a car?
In Ixelles, massive disadvantage. In Molenbeek, massive hinderance.
But that does depend on whether or not you have a car.
when we were looking for apartments, a few were being sold with an overpriced parking garage. For us, the parking garage was a disadvantage as we didn't care to get one. I think plenty of buyers out there not looking for parking garages so not a big deal, i would think.
If you don't have a car you could rent it out or store unsightly/cumbersome stuff in it. Apartments are not usually blessed with Bike racks for example. It really depends on your life-style.
