Sell a garage site in Boston
Whether your land is in Boston itself or in the villages between Boston and Spalding, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.
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.

Land we're keen to see around Boston
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
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.
What decides the value of garage sites near Boston
Rights of others
Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Lincolnshire
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
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
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

What people ask us about garage sites
Can garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
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 Boston?
Yes. Villages between Boston, Spalding and Skegness often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
