Is your land near Leyland a good fit?
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road

- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Lancashire
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
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.
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.
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.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
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.
Who deals with asbestos?
If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
Do you need all the garages empty before buying?
No. We can exchange contracts and plan vacant possession as part of the deal.
Do you cover the villages around Leyland?
Yes. Villages between Leyland, Chorley and Preston often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
