Sell a garage site in Leicestershire
We buy garage sites across Leicestershire, including around Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley. You deal with the buyer directly and there's no commission to pay.
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

Land we're keen to see in Leicestershire
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Garage sites already granted permission
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.
The things that move our offer
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.
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.
Four routes to a sale
We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.

Planning and legal points for land in Leicestershire
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about garage sites
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.
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 buy land in Leicestershire?
Yes. We consider land across Leicestershire, from Leicester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
