What we look for around Chalk Farm

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garage sites already granted permission

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.

What decides the value of garage sites near Chalk Farm

Access width

The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.

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.

Contamination

Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.

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 happens next

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

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.

Do you need all the garages empty before buying?

No. We can exchange contracts and plan vacant possession as part of the deal.
