Redundant buildings wanted in Slough
We are actively looking for redundant buildings in Slough and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Redundant buildings are empty or underused buildings, such as offices, shops, pubs, chapels or halls, that could be converted or replaced with homes. We assess both conversion and redevelopment and buy suitable buildings across England and Wales.

Is your land in Slough the kind we want?
Across Slough, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. In Berkshire, Slough sits about 17 miles east of Reading; Windsor and Maidenhead are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
The Elizabeth line, the Great Western Main Line and the M4 make many Berkshire settlements well connected, which matters under England's revised planning policy on locations near stations. Older office and commercial buildings in the larger towns, and paddocks and smallholdings on village edges, are common sources of smaller residential sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
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.
Some land in Berkshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 91 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Should I strip out the building before selling?
No. Leave it as it is and tell us about its condition; we will assess it as found.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
How quickly can you look at a site in Slough?
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Slough?
As Slough is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
