There is some archaic complication with titles which means parts of my house actually belong to the courtyard and my neighbour has right of way over my balcony (a hangover from before they converted down and got a ground-floor front door). Buying the courtyard allows me to solve those issues. It also removes an absentee landlord from the equation when arranging maintenance and repairs.
It won't do much for the house price but it will simplify the title and that would make it easier to sell in future. The mews is too small to allow cars to be parked in it, but if I own it I can make it nicer and plant things
