Do not advertise too small garage spaces as a garage.
Non-residential spaces too small at 2.5m wide.
For all residential properties new or old, if the garage has been built smaller than recommended sizes, it should not be allowed to be advertised as a garage. If a house advertised a garage, you would expect to fit a standard size car in it, if not, you should be made aware so that you consider buying the property or not, to avoid congesting street parking.
A standard size carparking space in non-residential areas is not wide enough at 2.5m to be able to access out of the car in many instances, due to many cars being wider nowadays or the poor parking or width of the car next to you.
