just need to sort out this issue
and ay it is aint it where i want access where there used to be three garages the owners have parked there for six years with no problem but what if i just whack a panel down and gate it only then for the council to put the garages back up... im screwed
Nice looking gaff mate, plenty of scope for a garage there! i just bought my first place earlier this year, three bed end terrace bungalow, with detached double garage and fair sized gardens. Mortgauge is a killer but the garage is ace! paid 125k for it just got to decorate the place now
just got to decorate the place now blimey' that's a good price
what area is that?

why not just rent the garage and put a gate up and not tell anyone, its not gonna be YEARS till your cossie is done,,,,, by then you will be have bought a bungalow and retired so why not think of the garden for junior then let him worry about buying a house with a garage for his dads classic car he left him in his will,,,,,, though hes prob gonna still have to wait a bit for it to be finished too pmsl
looks a fucking nice house,,,,,,,,, guess thats where i should start looking for that cash !!!

Ginge, id love too.... but what happens if i put a gate up and the council ends up replacing the garages... iv then bought a house that dose not serve my purpose and have nowhere to put the car... id rather not put it in one of the garages as id want it as close/secure to the house as possible!!
ps we have a little girl lol

I can't believe you can buy houses that nice in the south east of England for those sort of prices,looks to me a total bargain,I had that down as more of a Ł265-275 k minimum!!!
So,who ACTUALLY owns the garages that were originally knocked down?if it's the council then I'm almost certain they'd be happy to rent them to you for about Ł6 a week for the three of them?If they belong to a private house(unlikely) then you could approach them about buying/renting.
I'd be pretty confident the council would be glad to get something for them rather than the nothing they've clearly been receiving for the last x number of years!!!
Totally agree with building something up with a door either end,added security again.
Garden looks top on that house,well most everything he's done,going to save you plenty of cash and not be wire brushing your stair rails to remove old paint on a Saturday night like I am

On the original question, I have tried to buy garages from councils before and it's difficult. They don't really deal with requests, and sell when they want to sell, via auctions.

Yes mate they belong to the council, the guy with the house rents one across the way for Ł7.50 a week...
im just worried that in say a couple of years time they decide to have a change of plans and either put garages back up or worst case decide to put a couple of houses there???
as soon as im in a place bud you can help me do the cooking
ps plenty of curry nights too
i picked my shell up from that way... dont fancie going that way for a while if i can help it... 36 hours none stop

Well going to talk to them on Monday mate, so fingers crossed! hopefully as there is no garages where i want access it might go my way.
Went to view another house yesterday had a awesome size garage, and was a nice house, but it just wasn't the same as this one

Me and the other half were buying a run down bungalow that had a domed steel garage/workshop in the garden, paid for everything inc full structual and was just waiting fr their solicitors to finialize paperwork to be told they refused to represent them and it got repossesed at the last min!! Pissed off is an understatment!! Wil try find a pic of the garage, was the reason we wanted it as would have been mint for spraying/working on cars.

Well sadly we have had to let this one go, as it seems to much of an issue to gain access to the back garden for a garage and parking..... GUTTED and even if we could there is something in the deeds to say we cannot have any building at all.. temporary or otherwise
been to view a few more but man this looking for properties is hard work!!!
