Sell a garage site in Gloucester
Thinking about whether to sell a garage site in Gloucester? A free appraisal tells you what we'd pay and how we got there, with no obligation to go further.
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 Gloucester
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
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.
Contamination
Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.
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.

Rules that apply in England
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
The roofs are asbestos
Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.
Neighbours use the access
We check existing rights and design around them.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about garage sites
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.
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
Do you buy land in Gloucester?
Yes. We consider land in and around Gloucester and across Gloucestershire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
