Is your land near Camden Town a good fit?

  • Small industrial units and yards in residential areas
  • Former showrooms, garages and workshops
  • Sites a business is relocating from
  • Businesses looking for a sale and short leaseback

If your business has moved, closed or outgrown its premises, the site may be worth more as housing than as commercial space.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

Employment land policy

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

Existing use value

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

Leases

Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.

Neighbours

Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

Four routes to a sale

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. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

The council protects employment land

We look at marketing evidence and viability. Some sites won't qualify, and we'll say so.

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

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.

What is prior approval for commercial to residential?

In England, permitted development rights allow some commercial buildings to change to homes through a prior approval process, within set limits.
