Sell a garage site in Hedon

If you own garage sites near Hedon, 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.

Land we're keen to see around Hedon

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Rights of others

Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.

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.

Previously developed land

Garage courts are usually treated as brownfield, which can help planning.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Suits sites with consent or owners who want a clean exit.

Subject-to-planning sale

The most common route for garage courts.

Option agreements

Rarely needed unless several garage owners are involved.

Joint ventures

Possible for larger courts.

What England's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Brownfield first

National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • 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.

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.
