Sell redundant commercial or industrial land in Abergavenny

For owners of redundant commercial land in and around Abergavenny, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

The things that move our offer

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.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwent

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You still need the premises for now

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

The council protects employment land

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

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

Common questions

Can a commercial site be redeveloped for housing?

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

Can I keep running my business after selling?

Yes, through a conditional contract or a short leaseback agreed as part of the deal.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Abergavenny?

Yes. Villages between Abergavenny, Pontypool and Ebbw Vale often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
