Sell redundant commercial or industrial land in Notting Hill
We buy redundant commercial land across Greater London. In Notting Hill, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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.
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- No pressure to decide

What affects the price
Employment land policy
Some councils require evidence that commercial use is no longer viable before allowing homes.
Permitted development
Some commercial buildings can change to homes through prior approval, within limits.
Demolition and contamination
Industrial uses can leave contamination that needs investigating.
Neighbours
Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Awkward details we deal with
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 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
What people ask us about redundant commercial land

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.
Will contamination stop a sale?
Rarely. It usually affects the price and the timetable rather than whether we buy.
