Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Wolverhampton
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Wolverhampton. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

Is your land in Wolverhampton the kind we want?
In Wolverhampton, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. Wolverhampton lies about 12 miles north-west of Birmingham in the West Midlands. We also cover Willenhall, Tipton, Wednesbury and the villages between them.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The West Midlands county is a dense conurbation of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Solihull, Walsall, Dudley and the Black Country towns. Green Belt surrounds and separates parts of the conurbation, including the Meriden Gap between Birmingham and Coventry, so most housing comes from previously developed land: former industrial and canal-side sites, yards, garage courts and town centres. Grey belt and small fringe sites around Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and Aldridge can also come forward.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Wolverhampton, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Wolverhampton: common questions
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.
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Do you buy commercial and industrial sites in Wolverhampton?
Yes. We buy commercial and industrial sites in Wolverhampton and throughout the West Midlands, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
How quickly can you look at a site in Wolverhampton?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
