Brownfield land wanted in Windsor
If you own brownfield land in or around Windsor, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
A brownfield site is previously developed land, usually in or near a town. Old use can mean contamination, demolition or difficult ground, but these are often solvable. We look at the history, the ground and the planning position before making an offer.

What brownfield land we want near Windsor
In Windsor, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Windsor lies about 16 miles east of Reading in Berkshire. We also cover Slough, Egham, Staines-upon-Thames and the villages between them.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
The Elizabeth line, the Great Western Main Line and the M4 make many Berkshire settlements well connected, which matters under England's revised planning policy on locations near stations. Older office and commercial buildings in the larger towns, and paddocks and smallholdings on village edges, are common sources of smaller residential sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 92 miles from Windsor, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Brownfield land in Windsor: common questions
Will contamination stop a sale?
Not usually. It affects cost and the work needed, which we allow for. Any reports you already have help us give a firmer view sooner.
Do I have to clear the site first?
No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
Do you buy brownfield land in Windsor?
Yes. We buy brownfield land in Windsor and throughout Berkshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
How quickly can you look at a site in Windsor?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
