Is your land near Carshalton a good fit?

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.

The things that move our offer

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.

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.

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.

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.

Neighbours use the access

We check existing rights and design around them.

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.
