Is your land near Broadstairs a good fit?
- Small industrial units and yards in residential areas
- Sites a business is relocating from
- Commercial buildings with permitted development potential
- Sites with a mix of buildings and open storage
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 Kent
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.
Leases
Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.
Access
Commercial access often works well for housing, which helps value.

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
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
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.
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.
Do you buy land in Broadstairs?
Yes. We consider land in and around Broadstairs and across Kent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
