Parking Income

Daily, monthly and app-based income, and utilisation rates

This book is the calculator for parking. It teaches you to look at a specific space, garage or car park and know honestly and quickly whether the numbers work. It picks out the numbers that matter, including daily, monthly and app-based income and utilisation rates, and shows where to find public, current data for free. You will learn why overstating income, rather than overpaying, is the most common way to lose money on a parking asset, and how the full cost stack undermines the story of no tenants and no repairs. The appraisal is stress-tested for a bad month, a void and a rate rise, because an appraisal built on everything going well is only a wish. A complete worked example runs one realistic asset from purchase to net profit, and the final chapter turns the method into a repeatable calculator you run on every asset, and names the legal questions it cannot answer. Next in this series: “Planning, Enforcement and Liability”.
