How we arrive at a figure for land in Worcestershire

Employment land policy

Some councils require evidence that commercial use is no longer viable before allowing homes.

Permitted development

Some commercial buildings can change to homes through prior approval, within limits.

Leases

Occupational leases and security of tenure affect timing.

Neighbours

Homes next to retained businesses need careful design for noise.

Four routes to a sale

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.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You still need the premises for now

A conditional deal or a short leaseback lets you keep operating until you're ready to move.

The council protects employment land

We look at marketing evidence and viability. Some sites won't qualify, and we'll say so.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Droitwich

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.
