What we look for around Gravesend

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • 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.

What affects the price

Access width

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

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.

Displaced parking

Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.

Choosing how to sell

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Gravesend

Can garage sites be turned into homes?

Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.

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.
