1. Compare the technical details

What matters in a warehouse is how much you can store in it and how quickly you can move the goods. Compare these:

  • Clear height: 10–12 metres in today's Class A warehouses. The higher it is, the more racking levels fit on the same floor area.
  • Dock doors: larger warehouses usually have one for every 800–1 000 m². Work out how many trucks need to load at once.
  • Drive-in doors: needed for vans and forklifts when the goods don't arrive by truck.
  • Floor loading: usually 5 t/m² in the large parks, and up to 7 t/m² in some.
  • Column grid: wide column spacing allows more flexible racking.
  • Fire protection: sprinklers, usually an ESFR system for high-bay storage.
  • Yard: whether it is deep enough for trucks to turn, and whether there is truck parking.

2. Assess the location

Work out how many minutes it is to the motorway junction, and how far your suppliers and customers are. Check how staff get there by public transport, and whether there is a workforce in the area. For city deliveries, the usual choice is a warehouse in the districts; for national distribution, the large parks along the M0.

3. Compare the full monthly cost

The service charge and the utilities come on top of the rent. Two warehouses with similar rents can still differ a lot in monthly cost, because the service charge and the cost of heating and lighting can differ. A well-insulated, modern hall has lower energy costs, so a higher rent can pay for itself. Ask what the service charge covers, and what the previous tenant's utility costs were.

4. Check the category and certification

Class A warehouses are usually halls built in the last two decades, with a high clear height, many dock doors, a strong floor and sprinklers. Class B warehouses are simpler and usually cheaper. If your group or your customers ask for sustainability data, look at the ESG warehouses too.

5. Weigh up flexibility

Ask whether you can expand within the park, and whether there is a vacant hall or one under construction in case your business grows. Check the shortest lease term and the break terms. In modern logistics parks leases usually run three to five years, and five to ten years for large units; a shorter lease is possible for smaller units.

What to ask every landlord

  • What are the clear height and the floor loading?
  • How many dock and drive-in doors come with the unit?
  • What fire protection system does the hall have?
  • What are the rent and the service charge, and what does the service charge cover?
  • How large are the office and staff facilities that come with the warehouse?
  • When is the warehouse available?
  • What is the shortest lease term, and can you expand within the park?

How Warehouserentinfo.hu helps

The comparison shows the warehouses you choose side by side, and you can ask all of them for an offer at once. Each warehouse's page shows the clear height, the number of dock and drive-in doors, the floor loading and the available units. If you are still looking for the right warehouse, describe the warehouse you need, and the landlords will send you offers.

Frequently asked questions

What clear height does a warehouse need?

It depends on how high you want to store. Today's Class A warehouses have a clear height of 10–12 metres, which allows racking on several levels.

How many dock doors does a warehouse need?

It depends on your traffic. Larger warehouses usually have one dock door for every 800–1 000 m².

Why do two warehouses with similar rents cost different amounts each month?

Because the monthly cost also includes the service charge and the utilities, and these differ from warehouse to warehouse.
