Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Tyldesley
We are actively looking for commercial and industrial sites in Tyldesley and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Commercial and industrial sites can sometimes be redeveloped for housing, particularly when they sit among homes or are no longer needed for business. We assess whether a change to residential is realistic and buy suitable sites across England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Tyldesley
We look at yards and units across Tyldesley where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. Tyldesley is in Greater Manchester, about 10 miles west of Manchester. Nearby places include Atherton, Leigh and Walkden.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
Most of the city-region is covered by a joint strategic plan, and Metrolink and rail corridors are a focus for higher-density homes. The eastern edge around Saddleworth includes part of the Peak District National Park, where landscape is a significant constraint on development.
Before we make an offer in Tyldesley
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 71 miles from Tyldesley, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Greater Manchester
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 Tyldesley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 71 miles from Tyldesley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Tyldesley 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.
