Sell a garage site in Haverfordwest

For owners of garage sites in and around Haverfordwest, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

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
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

Is your land near Haverfordwest a good fit?

  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garage sites already granted permission

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

What affects the price

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.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Dyfed

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.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Haverfordwest?

Yes. Villages between Haverfordwest, Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
