Sell a garage site in Westbury
For owners of garage sites in and around Westbury, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

Land we're keen to see around Westbury
- Garage courts behind houses or flats
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
- Garage sites already granted permission
We buy garage blocks with or without tenants, and with or without planning permission, and explain what happens to any existing licences.
The things that move our offer
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
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.

The legal work

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.
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
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
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 Westbury?
Yes. We consider land in and around Westbury and across Wiltshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
