Sell a garage site in Marlow
We buy garage sites across Buckinghamshire. In Marlow, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
A garage site is a block or court of lock-up garages, often built in the 1960s and 1970s behind houses or flats. Many are now underused, and their access and hardstanding can make them good sites for a small number of new homes.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- Independent advice encouraged

The things that move our offer
Rights of others
Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.
Overlooking
Garage courts are often enclosed by gardens, which limits the height of new homes.
Contamination
Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.
Previously developed land
Garage courts are usually treated as brownfield, which can help planning.

Planning and legal points for land in Buckinghamshire
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.
Awkward details we deal with
Some garages are let
We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.
The roofs are asbestos
Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.

Questions from landowners near Marlow
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 need all the garages empty before buying?
No. We can exchange contracts and plan vacant possession as part of the deal.
Do you cover the villages around Marlow?
Yes. Villages between Marlow, Maidenhead and High Wycombe often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
