Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Yeadon
We are actively looking for commercial and industrial sites in Yeadon and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

What commercial and industrial sites we want near Yeadon
We look at yards and units across Yeadon where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. In West Yorkshire, Yeadon sits about 7 miles north-west of Leeds; Guiseley and Horsforth are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The South Pennine moors and part of the Peak District National Park border the west, with protected moorland habitats that can require mitigation for nearby schemes. Steep valley sites around Halifax and Huddersfield, and flood risk from the Aire and Calder, are common considerations.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 91 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Yeadon: common questions
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.
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 Yeadon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 91 miles from Yeadon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Yeadon assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
