Is your land in Windsor the kind we want?
Across Windsor, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Windsor is in Berkshire, about 16 miles east of Reading. Nearby places include Slough, Egham and Staines-upon-Thames.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Land with or without planning history
The Elizabeth line, the Great Western Main Line and the M4 make many Berkshire settlements well connected, which matters under England's revised planning policy on locations near stations. Older office and commercial buildings in the larger towns, and paddocks and smallholdings on village edges, are common sources of smaller residential sites.
Before we make an offer in Windsor
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Berkshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Who else might have rights over the court?
Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.
Can an agent introduce land in Windsor to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Windsor assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
