Sell a garage site in Greenwich
We consider garage sites in Greenwich and across Greater London, from sites close to the SE10 postcode district out towards Blackheath and Canary Wharf.
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.

What makes garage sites near Greenwich worth an offer
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
- Garage sites already granted permission
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.
The things that move our offer
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.
Displaced parking
Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London
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
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 rough size, in acres or hectares
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access

Who deals with asbestos?
If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
