Garage courts and yards wanted in Blackwood
We want to hear from owners of garage courts and yards in Blackwood. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A garage court or small yard is often underused land in the middle of a residential area. Redeveloping it for a few homes can work well, provided access, parking and neighbours are handled carefully.

Is your land in Blackwood the kind we want?
Across Blackwood, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. In Gwent, Blackwood sits about 8 miles west of Cwmbran; Bargoed and Gelligaer are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Land with or without planning history
Gwent covers south-east Wales, from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool to the valley towns of Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood and Caerphilly and the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. Typical sites include former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-town fields and village infill, with green wedges protecting gaps between settlements. Phosphate limits in the Usk and Wye catchments have held back housing in parts of the area, and the Gwent Levels bring flood and habitat constraints.
Before we make an offer in Blackwood
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

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.
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.
Is Blackwood too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles from Blackwood, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Blackwood assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
