What we look for around Haywards Heath

  • Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
  • Sites with an existing access onto a public road
  • Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
  • Garage sites already granted permission

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.

What decides the value of garage sites near Haywards Heath

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.

Contamination

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

Displaced parking

Councils may want to know where displaced cars will go.

Ways to sell this land

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.

Planning and legal points for land in West Sussex

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

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • 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

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.
