Garage courts and yards wanted in Thetford
We want to hear from owners of garage courts and yards in Thetford. 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 Thetford the kind we want?
Across Thetford, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Sitting about 27 miles south-west of Norwich, Thetford is within Norfolk, with Bury St Edmunds and Diss close by.

Norfolk is largely rural, with Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn and Thetford and market towns such as Dereham, Diss, North Walsham and Downham Market. There is no Green Belt, but the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and the Broads cover sensitive areas. Nutrient neutrality advice has affected much of the county because of protected sites including the Broads and the River Wensum, so drainage is often a key issue for village and edge-of-town sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
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, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 112 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
