What we look for around Polesworth

  • Cleared sites with old hardstanding
  • Redundant commercial buildings in residential areas
  • Sites next to canals, railways or town centres
  • Land with known or suspected contamination

We buy cleared sites, derelict buildings and yards, and price in the clean-up so you don't have to deal with it first.

What affects the price

Contamination

Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.

Demolition

Removing buildings and old foundations is a significant cost on many sites.

Flood risk

Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.

Viability

Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

We take on the site and its problems for an agreed price.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.

Option agreements

Can suit larger brownfield sites with a longer planning route.

Joint ventures

Worth discussing if you want to share in the regeneration value.

Rules that apply in England

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Brownfield first

National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.

Flood risk

Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You're worried about contamination liability

Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.

A previous buyer pulled out after surveys

We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

What counts as brownfield land?

Land that has been occupied by a permanent structure and its associated fixed surface infrastructure. Some exceptions apply, such as agricultural buildings and residential gardens in built-up areas.

Do you buy contaminated land?

Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.

Will you buy a site with tenants?

Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.

Do you buy land in Polesworth?

Yes. We consider land in and around Polesworth and across Warwickshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
