If you've always wanted to have your own gas station, you have to pay attention. Soon you will be able to get started. Butrrr…. you do have to bring a lot of money.
For some, it's a long-cherished dream; own a gas station. Preferably a very large gas station along the highway. It's just that it's hard to get hold of such a thing.
I have good news for those people. The Ruyven gas station along the A13 near Delfgauw will soon be auctioned. If you bid the highest, you can run it for years to come. And quite nice, there is a KFC in this gas station. So you can say that you also have your own fast food shop. That almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
The-rent rights are auctioned
Anyway, let's put both feet back on the ground. It does indeed sound too good to be true. Yes, you can run the gas station, but it will not be very easy for you as a private person. It will mainly be an expensive joke.
The government owns the land on which the gas station is located. And in all its goodness that same Empire has decreed that you may rent that land. But you have to work hard for that. And we mean really big.
The rental rights of Shell along the A4 near Hoofddorp, for example, were awarded to the highest bidder last year for more than 27 million euros. And after 15 years, it has to bid again. Because that's how it goes at all gas stations, after 15 years there must be bids again on those rental rights.
Butter with the fish , so without a mortgage
That's another problem. If you want to bid at this gas station, you must be able to pay in cash. Or you can transfer it, but you must own the money, you are not allowed to put a mortgage on it. And that's why a lot of people are already losing weight.
I don't know how much you have in your bank account, but it seems to me that it is more than 27 million. Just like most people. In addition, you have to pass the admission procedure. It checks whether you have enough money, but also whether you are a decent party. The second often works, only those millions…
So the loot goes to a big company. A Shell, or Esso or something. As so often.
Back to gas station Ruyven along the A13
There is a good chance that the current owner may also operate this gas station in the coming years. He only has to pay 30% of his own bid. That's right, the system of tenancy rights auction has not been around for very long. So when the rights for a gas station are auctioned for the first time, the current owner gets that discount.
This is because an owner used to have perpetual tenancy rights and it would be very sour if they were to take it away completely in one fell swoop. In 15 years, when everything is open, every bidder will have to pay the same. So maybe your chance is greater, just a little patience. in any case, you can save some money in that time.
Who will be allowed to operate this gas station in the coming years and how much has been paid for it, we will know on the second Wednesday of September, when the auction will be held.
We are curious.
