What garage courts and yards we want near Stamford
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Stamford, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Stamford lies about 40 miles south of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. We also cover Oakham, Uppingham, Peterborough and the villages between them.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.

Do I need to pay anything to have land in Stamford assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
