Questions owners in Risca 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.
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 Risca too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles from Risca, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Risca?
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.
