What we look for around Norwich

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garage sites already granted permission

Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.

What affects the price

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.

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.

Four routes to a sale

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.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in Norfolk

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • 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.

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.
