Garage courts and yards wanted in March
We want to hear from owners of garage courts and yards in March. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Garage courts are blocks of lock-up garages, often behind houses, that are now too small for many modern cars. They can make good small housing sites, and we buy garage courts and small yards across England and Wales.

Is your land in March the kind we want?

- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Water supply and wastewater capacity have been recurring issues for growth around Cambridge, and Fenland sites usually need careful flood risk evidence. Away from the city, small sites on the edges of villages and market towns along the A14, A10 and A1 corridors are a common source of new housing land.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in March
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Parts of Cambridgeshire 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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 84 miles from March, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
