Do you pay to store your lorry on someone elses land?

How much is reasonable? I have been keeping mine in a disused barn for free for years. The land owner is now a little short on money and wants us to start paying for the space (for that and a motorbike) which I can understand. They have asked for £50pm and I wondered if this is reasonable as I've never thought about it. What do other people pay?

Seems ok as much cheaper than most of us pay per day for a car park.

Thats not expensive. I would be tempted to give the farmer a bottle of something (not a cheep bottle of Lambrusco) to thank them for all the time they never charged you.
A little goodwill can go far !

We do make an effort to show our appreciation each year, its been very good of them. Sadly for me an extra 50pw is a lot, so I will have to decide if its that or park it on the road. Anyone else pay for parking?

I pay £200 a year to have the wagon on the livery yard (outdoors) and £25/month for the trailer which is stored in a barn.

This winter a lovely farm is keeping our lorry under cover for the princely sum of £5 a week! I am sending them a case of wine as a thank you! Some people are just lovely, and this lot definately are!

I think we pay £50 a month for a wagon and its £25 for a trailer
