Commercial and industrial sites wanted in High Wycombe
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in High Wycombe. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Older commercial and industrial land within towns is often better suited to homes than to modern business. We are interested in units, yards and estates where redevelopment for housing is realistic.

What commercial and industrial sites we want near High Wycombe
We look at yards and units across High Wycombe where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. High Wycombe lies about 13 miles south of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. We also cover Marlow, Amersham, Maidenhead and the villages between them.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The planned East West Rail route and the existing lines into Marylebone and Euston shape where growth is directed in Buckinghamshire. Village infill plots, redundant farm buildings and garden land are frequent in the rural parishes, while Milton Keynes and Aylesbury attract larger edge-of-town and regeneration sites.
