The things that move our offer

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.

Contamination

Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.

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.

From first call to completion

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters

Questions from landowners near Guisborough

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.

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.
