What garage courts and yards we want near Nuneaton
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Nuneaton, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. In Warwickshire, Nuneaton sits about 17 miles north of Warwick; Bedworth and Hinckley are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Parking courts behind houses
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
What decides whether a site in Nuneaton works
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 19 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

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.
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Nuneaton?
As Nuneaton is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Nuneaton assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
