Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.

Frequently asked in Hampshire
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.
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.
Can an agent introduce land in Basingstoke to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Basingstoke?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
