Garage plots


Apply for a garage plot on one of our sites across the county.

A garage plot is a piece of land that you can rent. Garage plots are rented under a 12 months licence and year to year thereafter, terminable by either side giving one month's notice in writing. 

The garage plot may only be used for private motor vehicles. Any commercial use or storage is strictly prohibited. 

Rent a garage

We only provide plots of land. If you'd prefer to rent a garage or want to speak to someone about your garage rental, contact your local housing association - see Housing associations.
