What makes brownfield land near Brierley Hill worth an offer

  • Former workshops, depots and yards
  • Cleared sites with old hardstanding
  • Sites on the council's brownfield land register
  • 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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in the West Midlands

Contamination

Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.

Brownfield register

Inclusion on the council's brownfield land register can support permission in principle.

Existing use value

If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.

Flood risk

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

Four routes to a sale

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.

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.

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.

The buildings are being vandalised

A quick exchange can transfer risk and security responsibility sooner. We'll talk through timing.

Common questions

Is it easier to get planning on brownfield land?

National policy in England and Wales gives weight to reusing suitable brownfield land, so the starting point is often positive. Each site is still judged on its merits.

Will you buy a site with tenants?

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

Do I need a contamination report before selling?

No, though any reports you have will help us price more accurately.

Do you cover the villages around Brierley Hill?

Yes. Villages between Brierley Hill, Stourbridge and Dudley often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
