Is your land near Willenhall a good fit?

  • Former workshops, depots and yards
  • Sites on the council's brownfield land register
  • Redundant commercial buildings in residential areas
  • Sites where previous schemes stalled

Brownfield sites often carry baggage: contamination, old foundations, tricky neighbours. They're also some of the best places for new homes, and policy generally supports their reuse.

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

Contamination

Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.

Demolition

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

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.

Choosing how to sell

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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 buy land in Willenhall?

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