Sell redundant commercial or industrial land in Cricklewood

We buy redundant commercial land across Greater London. In Cricklewood, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

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

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Free and no obligation. We're the buyer, so there's no commission.

Where Cricklewood sits

Cricklewood (NW2) sits in OS grid square TQ28, about 5 miles north-west of central London. Sites between here and Kilburn or Chalk Farm are just as much of interest to us.

Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.

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.

Demolition and contamination

Industrial uses can leave contamination that needs investigating.

Neighbours

Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  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.

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters

Common questions

Do you buy sites with tenants in place?

Yes. We review the leases and allow for the time and cost of obtaining vacant possession.

Will contamination stop a sale?

Rarely. It usually affects the price and the timetable rather than whether we buy.

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.
