Sell a garage site in Dyfed

Owners of garage sites in Dyfed can sell directly to us, whether the land is near Llanelli, Ammanford and Aberystwyth or in the villages between.

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 makes garage sites in Dyfed worth an offer

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
  • Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access

We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.

What decides the value of garage sites in Dyfed

Access width

The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.

Tenants and licences

Garage licences can usually be ended on notice; leases need more care.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

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

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

  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Can garage sites be turned into homes?

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

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 need all the garages empty before buying?

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

Do you buy land in Dyfed?

Yes. We consider land across Dyfed, from Carmarthen to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
