Is your land in Coulsdon the kind we want?

We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Coulsdon, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Sitting about 13 miles south of central London, Coulsdon is within Greater London, with Purley and Banstead close by.

  • Small service yards and compounds
  • Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
  • Courts where some garages are let on licences
  • Land with or without planning history

London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.

Before we make an offer in Coulsdon

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.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 113 miles from Coulsdon, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
