2025 projects, previous year’s review : a word from the club’s founder

Club members, log in to see the full report.

All the members of the CIPG club’s voluntary team join me in wishing you a very happy and prosperous 2025 !

On the personal side, I’m pursuing my objective of increasing my assets. Despite two offers to buy small lots of garages near my home, I didn’t sign any property agreements in 2024. It has to be said that I’m a gambler, taking advantage of the property market to try and buy lots below their value. The first lot consisted of 5 garages, and another buyer bid € 500 more per garage than I did. The second lot will be back on the market in a few months’ time. The sellers hesitated, but finally turned down my offer and decided to keep this profitable lot of 8 garages fully let.

No vacancies. As is the case every year, rental demand remains abundant, and I have a 100% fill rate whatever the type of property: car park, garage, storage space or vehicle winter storage. With a small waiting list for each type of location to re-let in the event of a vacancy.

Enough about me, let’s get back to the heart of the matter with my views on the niche property market. Followed by a retrospective of the past year for our club, and to finish, an explanation of the developments to come within our club in 2025.

    Self-storage and storage spaces : new paradise for property investors ?

    When we think of property investment, we often think of renting a flat or a house, commercial premises or a car park. But there’s another type of property that’s increasingly in demand: the rental of storage space: cellar, garage, box or warehouse.

    📈 This is a market that has been growing rapidly for several years and is doing very well (due to a catch-up effect: several European countries offer 2 to 3 times more storage space).

    💰Yields of up to 10% per annum for a very passive investment (average rental period 24 months 😳).
