Sell a garage site in Heston
Our interest in garage sites around Heston is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.
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.

Where Heston sits
The land we're most interested in near Heston sits on the edge of the built-up area or in the villages towards Hounslow (1 mile) and Isleworth (2 miles).
Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.

What we look for around Heston
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- 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.
What affects the price
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.
Displaced parking
Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.

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
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Heston
Can garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
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.
Can you visit land near Heston?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
