Land we're keen to see in West Yorkshire
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Garage blocks with some or all garages vacant
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- 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 West Yorkshire
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.
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.
Ways to sell this land
We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.

Rules that apply in England
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
Some garages are let
We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.
Neighbours use the access
We check existing rights and design around them.

Questions from landowners in West Yorkshire
Can garage sites be turned into homes?
Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
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 West Yorkshire?
Yes. We consider land across West Yorkshire, from Leeds to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
