What we look for around Wrexham

  • Haulage yards, builders' yards and depots
  • Former showrooms, garages and workshops
  • Sites a business is relocating from
  • Sites with a mix of buildings and open storage

Councils sometimes protect employment land, so we check the policy position before assuming a site can change to housing.

What affects the price

Existing use value

A let or lettable commercial site has a value that a housing offer must exceed.

Demolition and contamination

Industrial uses can leave contamination that needs investigating.

Leases

Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.

Neighbours

Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

A clean exit for business owners, sometimes with a short leaseback.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once housing is approved, with your business using the site meanwhile.

Option agreements

Useful where vacant possession is some way off.

Joint ventures

Possible for larger sites.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

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

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Rules that apply in Wales

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Previously developed land

Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.

Tax on the sale

In Wales the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax. Take advice from an accountant.

When the land isn't straightforward

You still need the premises for now

A conditional deal or a short leaseback lets you keep operating until you're ready to move.

There are underground tanks

Fuel tanks are common on old garage and depot sites. We arrange removal as part of the works.

Useful to send us

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Wrexham

Can a commercial site be redeveloped for housing?

Often, subject to the council's policies on protecting employment land, plus the usual planning tests.

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 I pay VAT on the sale?

Commercial property can be subject to VAT if an option to tax has been made. Ask your accountant and tell your solicitor early.

Can you visit land near Wrexham?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
