What does storage cost in the North?
The North was the only UK region where storage prices rose last year, up 2.9%, yet at £21.65 per sq ft it remains the cheapest in the country, around 21% below the UK average. Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle all have growing supply, but rising demand means it still pays to compare and book ahead.
