Sell a garage site in Primrose Place

Whether your land is in Primrose Place itself or in the villages between Primrose Place and Whittlesey, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

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
  • No pressure to decide

What makes garage sites near Primrose Place worth an offer

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations

Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Cambridgeshire

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.

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The roofs are asbestos

Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.

Neighbours use the access

We check existing rights and design around them.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

Can garage sites be turned into homes?

Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.

Who deals with asbestos?

If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.

Do you need all the garages empty before buying?

No. We can exchange contracts and plan vacant possession as part of the deal.
