What makes redundant commercial land in Herefordshire worth an offer
- Small industrial units and yards in residential areas
- Haulage yards, builders' yards and depots
- Former showrooms, garages and workshops
- Commercial buildings with permitted development potential
- 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.
The things that move our offer
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.
Leases
Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.
Neighbours
Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.
Choosing how to sell
We buy small commercial and industrial sites, including those still occupied, and plan a route to vacant possession that fits your timetable.

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.
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

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.
Do you buy land in Herefordshire?
Yes. We consider land across Herefordshire, from Hereford to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
