What affects the price
Existing use value
A let or lettable commercial site has a value that a housing offer must exceed.
Permitted development
Some commercial buildings can change to homes through prior approval, within limits.
Leases
Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.
Access
Commercial access often works well for housing, which helps value.

Planning and legal points for land in Cheshire
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.
Tax on the sale
The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.
Common problems, and how we handle them
You still need the premises for now
A conditional deal or a short leaseback lets you keep operating until you're ready to move.
The council protects employment land
We look at marketing evidence and viability. Some sites won't qualify, and we'll say so.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about redundant commercial land
Can a commercial site be redeveloped for housing?
Often, subject to the council's policies on protecting employment land, plus the usual planning tests.
Can I keep running my business after selling?
Yes, through a conditional contract or a short leaseback agreed as part of the deal.
Do you buy sites with tenants in place?
Yes. We review the leases and allow for the time and cost of obtaining vacant possession.
Do you buy land in Winsford?
Yes. We consider land in and around Winsford and across Cheshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
