Sell redundant commercial or industrial land in Cardigan

If you own redundant commercial land near Cardigan, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.

Redundant commercial and industrial land is a business site no longer needed for its original use, such as a small industrial unit, haulage yard or showroom. Where the site sits among homes, redevelopment for housing is often the best long-term use, subject to planning policy on employment land.

What affects the price

Employment land policy

Some councils require evidence that commercial use is no longer viable before allowing homes.

Demolition and contamination

Industrial uses can leave contamination that needs investigating.

Leases

Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.

Access

Commercial access often works well for housing, which helps value.

Ways to sell this land

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.

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. 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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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.
