Wanted in Brynmawr

Development land wanted in Brynmawr

Own land in Brynmawr that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

Brynmawr lies about 12 miles north-west of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Rhymney and the villages between them. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 75 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Gwent covers south-east Wales, from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool to the valley towns of Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood and Caerphilly and the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. Typical sites include former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-town fields and village infill, with green wedges protecting gaps between settlements. Phosphate limits in the Usk and Wye catchments have held back housing in parts of the area, and the Gwent Levels bring flood and habitat constraints.

In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Small sites

Small sites in and around Brynmawr are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village.

Commercial and industrial sites

In Brynmawr, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land.
