If you own brownfield land in or around Harrow, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.

Brownfield land we are looking for in Harrow
In Harrow, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Sitting about 10 miles north-west of central London, Harrow is within Greater London, with Wembley and Pinner close by.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites on a brownfield land register (England) or similar
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.
Before we make an offer in Harrow
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Existing floorspace
Vacant buildings can reduce affordable housing requirements in some cases (vacant building credit, England).
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 95 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Brownfield land in Harrow: 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.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Is Harrow too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 95 miles from Harrow, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Harrow to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
