Is your land in Torquay the kind we want?
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Torquay, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Sitting about 18 miles south of Exeter, Torquay is within Devon, with Paignton and Brixham close by.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
The A30, A38 and M5 corridors and the main line from Exeter to Plymouth carry most of Devon's planned growth, including new communities east of Exeter. In coastal towns, flood risk and coastal change can affect sites, while nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Axe catchment on the Dorset border.
What decides whether a site in Torquay works
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 160 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Garage courts and yards in Torquay: common questions
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.

We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Can an agent introduce land in Torquay to you?
