Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Coalville
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Coalville. 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 Coalville
In Coalville, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. Sitting about 12 miles north-west of Leicester, Coalville is within Leicestershire, with Loughborough and Swadlincote close by.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 26 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Leicestershire
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 Coalville too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 26 miles from Coalville, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Coalville assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
