Sell a garage site in Earl Shilton
We buy garage sites across Leicestershire. In Earl Shilton, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.

- Figures explained, so you can check them

Is your land near Earl Shilton a good fit?
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- 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
Rights of others
Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.
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.

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.
Neighbours use the access
We check existing rights and design around them.

Common questions
Can garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
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.
Can you visit land near Earl Shilton?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
