The garage courts and yards that interests us around St Helens
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around St Helens, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. St Helens is in Merseyside, about 10 miles east of Liverpool. Nearby places include Haydock, Prescot and Ashton-in-Makerfield.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Merseyside centres on Liverpool, with Birkenhead and Wallasey across the Mersey, Southport and Formby on the coast, and towns such as St Helens, Bootle, Huyton and Kirkby. Green Belt separates many of these places and covers much of the remaining open land, so most housing comes from previously developed land, docks, former industrial estates and town-centre sites. Grey belt and small fringe sites can also come forward.
Before we make an offer in St Helens
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 71 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
