Sell a garage site in Reigate

We buy garage sites across Surrey. In Reigate, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

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
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

What makes garage sites near Reigate worth an offer

  • Garage courts behind houses or flats
  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access 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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Surrey

Rights of others

Neighbours may have rights to use the access or park, which must be respected.

Tenants and licences

Garage licences can usually be ended on notice; leases need more care.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Surrey

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

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

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about garage sites

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.

Who deals with asbestos?

If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
