Is your land in Ellesmere Port the kind we want?
Redundant buildings in Ellesmere Port often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. Ellesmere Port is in Cheshire, about 6 miles north of Chester. Nearby places include Chester, Neston and Halewood.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
Cheshire's eastern edge rises into the Peak District National Park, and the Dee and Mersey estuaries bring flood and habitat considerations. Former industrial and chemical land around Northwich, Winsford and Runcorn, and village sites near stations on the Crewe and Manchester lines, are typical development opportunities.
Before we make an offer in Ellesmere Port
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 65 miles from Ellesmere Port, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Can a former pub be converted to homes?
Sometimes. Pubs are often protected by local policy, and the August 2026 NPPF aims to avoid loss of valued community facilities, so evidence about viability and need matters.
My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.
Is Ellesmere Port too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 65 miles from Ellesmere Port, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Ellesmere Port assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
