Garage and Garage Sites 2025/26 rent increases agreed for Inverness Area

Highland Council owned garage rents for the Inverness area will increase by 8% for 2025/26 as agreed at today’s City of Inverness Area Committee.

Leader of Inverness and Area, Cllr Ian Brown said: “Highland Council garage rents remain low in Inverness when compared with other renting alternatives. A consultation with tenants was carried out in November last year. The increase agreed today will enable the Council to carry out ongoing repairs and improvements to the tenants’ garage estate.”

Tenant consultation on the general rent increase for Council house rents for 2025/26 was based on options for 8%, 9% and 10% rent increase.

Councillors agreed that for Council tenants:

  • Garage Rents will increase from £7.41 to £8.00 per week.
  • Garage Sites weekly rents will increase from £1.23 to £1.33 for Ward 13.

…and for non-tenants:

  • Garage Rents will increase from £8.89 to £9.60 per week.
  • Garage Sites weekly rents will increase from £1.47 to £1.59 for Ward 13.

As a result of the 8% garage rent increase, total annual income will rise to £151,449.52.
