Why is it of value to you? It's not entirely clear from your description - I've probably missed the obvious tho :)

Our house is on a flying freehold. She currently owns random bits of it, such as the surface of our balcony, the stairs up to it, and a passageway to the communal front door. If I were to buy the courtyard I could transfer these parts to my title, making my freehold much simpler. I could also potentially replace the current informal maintenance contribution setup with a management company.

My house is in a small mews courtyard, owned by the previous owner of my house. I want to buy this courtyard (and she wants to sell) but I don't know how to get it valued. It cannot be built on, and it's only value is to us and our neighbours. To anyone else (including the seller) it's pure liability.
Would a normal estate agent be the right person to value this or are there some kind of specialist valuers?
