Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Pencoed
We look at yards and units across Pencoed where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. Pencoed lies about 4 miles east of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Bridgend, Aberkenfig, Tonyrefail and the villages between them.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
What decides whether a site in Pencoed works
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.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 98 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 Pencoed too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 98 miles from Pencoed, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Pencoed 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.
