The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.

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.

No. We can buy with buildings and hardstanding in place and deal with demolition ourselves.
Is Tonyrefail too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 93 miles from Tonyrefail, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Tonyrefail 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.
