Brownfield land wanted in Edgware
We want to hear from owners of brownfield land in Edgware. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If your land has buildings, hardstanding or a past industrial use, it is likely to count as brownfield. Reusing these sites is a planning priority, and we are buyers for yards, depots and cleared plots across England and Wales.

Is your land in Edgware the kind we want?
In Edgware, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Edgware lies about 10 miles north-west of central London in Greater London. We also cover Borehamwood, Harrow, Barnet and the villages between them.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Edgware
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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 95 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Edgware ask
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.
Is brownfield land easier to get planning on?
National policy in England and Wales supports making good use of previously developed land, but each site still needs to meet local policies.
Is Edgware too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 95 miles from Edgware, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Edgware?
As Edgware is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
