Sell redundant commercial or industrial land in Polesworth

Whether your land is in Polesworth itself or in the villages between Polesworth and Tamworth, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

What makes redundant commercial land near Polesworth worth an offer

  • Small industrial units and yards in residential areas
  • Haulage yards, builders' yards and depots
  • Sites with a mix of buildings and open storage
  • 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.

What affects the price

Existing use value

A let or lettable commercial site has a value that a housing offer must exceed.

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.

Neighbours

Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

Choosing how to sell

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.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

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.

Can you visit land near Polesworth?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
