Sell a garage site in Seaford

Whether your land is in Seaford itself or in the villages between Seaford and Rottingdean, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

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

Where Seaford sits

Land around Seaford falls under England's planning system. The closest towns we also cover are Rottingdean, 8 miles away, and Eastbourne, 8 miles away, and Brighton is 11 miles away.

Much of the county lies in the South Downs National Park or the High Weald National Landscape, which limits greenfield development outside the towns.

What we look for around Seaford

  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
  • Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
  • Garage sites already granted permission

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

The things that move our offer

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.

Previously developed land

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

Ways to sell this land

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.

Planning and legal points for land in East Sussex

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.

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

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 cover the villages around Seaford?

Yes. Villages between Seaford, Rottingdean and Eastbourne often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
