Sell a garage site in Llanelli
Our interest in garage sites around Llanelli is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
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

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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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 rough size, in acres or hectares

What people ask us about garage sites
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.
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 Llanelli?
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.
