What decides the value of redundant commercial land in Lincolnshire
Employment land policy

Demolition and contamination

Leases
Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.
Access

Choosing how to sell

Planning and legal points for land in Lincolnshire
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

- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
Will contamination stop a sale?
Rarely. It usually affects the price and the timetable rather than whether we buy.
Do you buy land in Lincolnshire?
Yes. We consider land across Lincolnshire, from Lincoln to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
