Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Milton Keynes
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Milton Keynes. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If you own industrial units, a business yard or commercial land that is surrounded by housing or underused, it may be worth more as a residential site. We look at employment land policy, tenancies and ground conditions before making an offer.

Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Milton Keynes
In Milton Keynes, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. In Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes sits about 16 miles north of Aylesbury; Newport Pagnell and Bletchley are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
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.
Some land in Buckinghamshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 60 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Buckinghamshire
My units are still let. Can you buy?
Yes, in many cases. We look at the leases and break dates and can plan a purchase around them.
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
Is Milton Keynes too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 60 miles from Milton Keynes, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Milton Keynes assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
