Sell a garage site in Tenby
We consider garage sites in Tenby and across Dyfed, from sites close to the SA70 postcode district out towards Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven.
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.

What we look for around Tenby
- 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
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.
What decides the value of garage sites near Tenby
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.
Overlooking
Garage courts are often enclosed by gardens, which limits the height of new homes.
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.
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it

Your questions answered
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
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.
Do you buy land in Tenby?
Yes. We consider land in and around Tenby and across Dyfed. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
