Sell a garage site in Aberdare
For owners of garage sites in and around Aberdare, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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 Aberdare
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- 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.
What affects the price
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
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.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Previously developed land
Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
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.

Questions from landowners near Aberdare
Do you buy single garages?
Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.
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 buy land in Aberdare?
Yes. We consider land in and around Aberdare and across Mid Glamorgan. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
