Is your land in Wokingham the kind we want?
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Wokingham, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Wokingham is in Berkshire, about 7 miles south-east of Reading. Nearby places include Crowthorne, Bracknell and Yateley.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- 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 Wokingham
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
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.
Parts of Berkshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 91 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
