How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

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.

Joint ventures

Possible for larger courts.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

Some garages are let

We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.

The roofs are asbestos

Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Hampton?

Yes. Villages between Hampton, Hanworth and Sunbury-on-Thames often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
