In short: Storage can be bought as a whole site, as individual units in a managed scheme, or as land for container storage. Returns depend on occupancy, pricing, operating costs and location. Be cautious with schemes selling individual units with promised returns: check who owns the freehold, how you can exit, and whether the operator is financially sound. Planning and business rates also matter. This isn't financial advice. Fraser Bond can help you compare storage with other property investments.
