Sell a garage site in Camden Town
For owners of garage sites in and around Camden Town, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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 Camden Town
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- 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.
What affects the price
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
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.

The legal work

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map

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.
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 Camden Town?
Yes. We consider land in and around Camden Town and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
