The garage courts and yards that interests us around Reigate

We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Reigate, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Reigate is in Surrey, about 16 miles east of Guildford. Nearby places include Redhill, Horley and Dorking.

  • Parking courts behind houses
  • Small service yards and compounds
  • Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
  • Courts where some garages are let on licences

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.

Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Reigate

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.

Overlooking

Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.

The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.

Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 116 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Reigate ask

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.

Who else might have rights over the court?

Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.

Can an agent introduce land in Reigate 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 Reigate?

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.
