Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Brough
If you own commercial and industrial sites in or around Brough, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
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.

Is your land in Brough the kind we want?
Older business land around Brough, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss. Sitting about 10 miles south-west of Beverley, Brough is within the East Riding of Yorkshire, with Kingston upon Hull and Beverley close by.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
A proposal to designate the Yorkshire Wolds as a new National Landscape was submitted to the Secretary of State in September 2026 and awaits a decision. The Holderness coast is one of the fastest-eroding in Europe, so coastal change can rule out sites, while the A63 and M62 corridor links Hull and Goole westwards.
What usually makes or breaks it
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
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 99 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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 permitted development an option?
In England, some commercial-to-residential changes can use prior approval. Whether it applies depends on the use, the building and local restrictions.
Is Brough too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Brough, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Brough?
As Brough 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.
