Several Housing Executive garages are now available to rent at various locations throughout Mid and East Antrim.

Tenants and residents in the Ballymena, Carrickfergus and Larne areas are being invited to apply to rent the garages, which are available at a very competitive rate of around £12.43 per week.

Those garages available are in good order and suitable for storing a family car or other items.

Louis Richmond, Housing Executive Lettings Manager for Mid and East Antrim, said: "We're offering the rental of garages to anyone in these localities – not just Housing Executive tenants.

"Our garages provide the opportunity for local people to avail of lower insurance premiums by parking their car off-road.

"Although primarily for use as a car-port, they may also be useful to local people in need of a bit of extra storage space.

"There is no minimum lease term and we only require two weeks’ notice to recall a tenancy if someone changes their mind.

"We do stress that the garages are for private use and are not fully waterproofed – something to bear in mind if storing household goods.

"Additionally, we'd also recommend those renting take out insurance cover and ensure that everything kept in the garage is stored with a weather-proof cover."
