Sell a garage site in Bethesda
If you want to sell a garage site in Bethesda, you can deal with the buyer directly. We look at the land, explain what it's worth and why, and leave the decision with you.
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 decides the value of garage sites near Bethesda
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.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwynedd
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Previously developed land
Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Awkward details we deal with
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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 cover the villages around Bethesda?
Yes. Villages between Bethesda, Bangor and Caernarfon often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
