The garage courts and yards that interests us around Gelligaer
Across Gelligaer, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Sitting about 10 miles west of Cwmbran, Gelligaer is within Gwent, with Nelson and Bargoed close by.

- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- 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.
What decides whether a site in Gelligaer works
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 84 miles from Gelligaer, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Gelligaer ask
Who else might have rights over the court?
Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.

It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.

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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Gelligaer?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
