Sell a garage site in Shrewsbury
For owners of garage sites in and around Shrewsbury, 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.

Is your land near Shrewsbury a good fit?
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
Garage courts already have access and hard surfaces, and as previously developed land they can be good candidates for redevelopment.
What affects the price
Rights of others
Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.
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.

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
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
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 Shrewsbury?
Yes. We consider land in and around Shrewsbury and across Shropshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
