Development Land Wanted buys garage courts and yards in Oswestry and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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 Oswestry the kind we want?
Across Oswestry, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Sitting about 16 miles north-west of Shrewsbury, Oswestry is within Shropshire, with Shrewsbury and Chester close by.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Flood risk along the Severn affects Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and riverside villages, and the M54 corridor links Telford with the West Midlands. Telford was built as a new town and still has land for regeneration, while many rural parishes plan small-scale growth through neighbourhood plans.

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.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.

Your questions answered
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.
Is Oswestry too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 53 miles from Oswestry, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Oswestry assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
