What affects the price
Employment land policy
Some councils require evidence that commercial use is no longer viable before allowing homes.
Existing use value
A let or lettable commercial site has a value that a housing offer must exceed.
Leases
Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.
Access
Commercial access often works well for housing, which helps value.
Four routes to a sale
If your business has moved, closed or outgrown its premises, the site may be worth more as housing than as commercial space.

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
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
- The address or postcode
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
- 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 you buy sites with tenants in place?
Yes. We review the leases and allow for the time and cost of obtaining vacant possession.
Do you buy land in Norfolk?
Yes. We consider land across Norfolk, from Norwich to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
