Sell a garage site in Colwyn Bay
If you own garage sites near Colwyn Bay, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.
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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Clwyd
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.
Displaced parking
Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Previously developed land
Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
Can garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
Do you buy single garages?
Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.
Who deals with asbestos?
If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
Can you visit land near Colwyn Bay?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
