Garage courts and yards wanted in Egham
Development Land Wanted buys garage courts and yards in Egham and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
A garage court or small yard is often underused land in the middle of a residential area. Redeveloping it for a few homes can work well, provided access, parking and neighbours are handled carefully.

Is your land in Egham the kind we want?
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Egham, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Egham is in Surrey, about 14 miles north of Guildford. Nearby places include Staines-upon-Thames, Chertsey and Ashford.
- 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
Surrey is a county of commuter towns, including Woking, Guildford, Epsom, Reigate, Redhill, Camberley, Staines-upon-Thames and Farnham, and many villages. Most of the county is Metropolitan Green Belt, and the Surrey Hills and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the south. Previously developed land, infill plots, garden and backland sites and grey belt are therefore central to housing supply, with larger sites usually allocated through local plans.
Before we make an offer in Egham
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 96 miles from Egham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Egham 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Egham?
As Egham is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
