As some may have seen i had my car on ebay as i have no time, i have taken a promotion at work and always busy, a long story short the winning bidder joined a few days previous and i dont expect to here anything from them.
Now my question is my car sits in my garage on the side of my house but i am worried that the body/chassis will deteriorate with the little use it gets and the little time i get to do the odd jobs, what are your experiences.

As long as the garage is dry and you have cleaned the car before storing, you should be fine. Make sure you get rid of any salt that has been picked up on the road. Look behind the front mud guards, you will be amazed how much mud and other stuff can build up there. If it gets wet, it stays wet and can start eating things.
When I stored mine in a garage, when I had space, the body work held up far better than it did exposed to the weather. I would be more worried about the mechanicals seizing due to lack of use.
Leave the hand brake off, obviously chock it. If you can turn the engine over once in whiled that would be good. Oh and disconnect the battery to stop it draining.
