Garage courts and yards wanted in Tiverton
We are actively looking for garage courts and yards in Tiverton and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Garage courts are blocks of lock-up garages, often behind houses, that are now too small for many modern cars. They can make good small housing sites, and we buy garage courts and small yards across England and Wales.

Is your land in Tiverton the kind we want?
Across Tiverton, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Tiverton is in Devon, about 12 miles north of Exeter. Nearby places include Exeter, Taunton and Exmouth.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Devon has no Green Belt, but Dartmoor and part of Exmoor National Parks and the East Devon, North Devon, South Devon, Blackdown Hills and Tamar Valley National Landscapes cover a large share of the county. Growth focuses on Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and the market towns, with many villages beyond. Edge-of-town greenfield land, farm buildings and smaller infill plots are the usual sources of new housing sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tiverton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Tiverton 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.
Do you buy council or housing association garages?
We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Is Tiverton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 132 miles from Tiverton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Tiverton 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.
