Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Wembley
If you own commercial and industrial sites in or around Wembley, 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 Wembley the kind we want?
We look at yards and units across Wembley where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. In Greater London, Wembley sits about 8 miles north-west of central London; Harrow and Northolt are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
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.
Checks we make on commercial and industrial sites in Wembley
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
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.
Parts of Greater London are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 97 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Wembley ask
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.
Do you buy commercial and industrial sites in Wembley?
Yes. We buy commercial and industrial sites in Wembley and throughout Greater London, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
