The garage courts and yards that interests us around Uckfield
Garage courts tucked behind homes in Uckfield are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows. Uckfield lies about 8 miles north-east of Lewes in East Sussex. We also cover Crowborough, Lewes, Haywards Heath and the villages between them.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Parking courts behind houses
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
Brighton and Hove has very limited land between the Downs and the sea, so redevelopment of commercial buildings, garages and yards is common there. Inland, the A22 and A26 towns and High Weald villages see smaller schemes, where ancient woodland and the historic field pattern are frequent considerations.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Uckfield
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 139 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Uckfield ask
Some garages are still rented. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Garage lets are often on short licences. We look at the terms and allow time to end them properly.
Do you buy council or housing association garages?
We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Which planning rules apply to land in Uckfield?

No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
