If you’re planning to sell your garage, you might be wondering if you need planning permission. The good news is that most garage sales do not require planning permission, but there are some exceptions.

1. When You Don’t Need Planning Permission

✅ If your garage is fully owned and separate from your home, you can sell it without any restrictions.
✅ If no major structural changes have been made, you can sell it freely.

2. When You Might Need Planning Permission

❌ If the garage was converted into a living space, such as an office or workshop.
❌ If your garage is part of a listed building or in a conservation area.
❌ If your garage was built under shared ownership or leasehold agreements.

3. What to Do if You Need Permission?

If you’re unsure, check with your local council or a property solicitor. They can confirm whether your garage needs planning permission before selling.

Final Thoughts

Most garages can be sold without planning permission, but it’s always good to check the legal status before listing.
