Sell a garage site in Hinckley

We buy garage sites across Leicestershire. In Hinckley, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

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 we look for around Hinckley

Garage courts behind houses or flats
Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
Garage sites already granted permission

We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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

Do you buy single garages?

Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.

Is a garage court brownfield land?

Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.

Who deals with asbestos?

If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
