What affects the price
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.
Previously developed land
Garage courts are usually treated as brownfield, which can help planning.
Choosing how to sell
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Powys
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
Some garages are let
We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.
The roofs are asbestos
Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
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.
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 buy land in Powys?
Yes. We consider land across Powys, from Newtown to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
