What we look for in Berkshire
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
- Garage sites already granted permission
Lock-up garages are often too small for modern cars and expensive to maintain. As a housing site, a garage court can be worth considerably more.
What decides the value of garage sites in Berkshire
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
Rights of others
Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.
Contamination
Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.
Displaced parking
Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.
Choosing how to sell
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.

What England's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Brownfield first
National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
When the land isn't straightforward
Some garages are let
We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.
Neighbours use the access
We check existing rights and design around them.

Your questions answered
What happens to people who rent the garages?
It depends on their agreements. Most are licences that end on notice, which we plan for with you.
Do you buy single garages?
Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
Do you buy land in Berkshire?
Yes. We consider land across Berkshire, from Reading to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
