Sell a garage site in Weston-super-Mare

We consider garage sites in Weston-super-Mare and across Somerset, from sites close to the BS23 postcode district out towards Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them

Land we're keen to see around Weston-super-Mare

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
  • 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.

The things that move our offer

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.

Overlooking

Garage courts are often enclosed by gardens, which limits the height of new homes.

Previously developed land

Garage courts are usually treated as brownfield, which can help planning.

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

  1. Send us the address

    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. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

Planning and legal points for land in Somerset

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.

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

Can garage sites be turned into homes?

Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.

Do you buy single garages?

Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.

Is a garage court brownfield land?

Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.

Can you visit land near Weston-super-Mare?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
