What we look for around Northolt

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

Access width

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

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.

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.

Neighbours use the access

We check existing rights and design around them.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Northolt

Do you buy single garages?

Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.

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 Northolt?

Yes. Villages between Northolt, Greenford and Harrow often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
