What redundant buildings we want near Flint
Across Flint, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Flint is in Clwyd, about 5 miles north of Mold. Nearby places include Holywell, Mold and Buckley.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
The A55 coast road and the Wrexham to Bidston and North Wales Coast rail lines link the main towns with Chester and Merseyside. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15 is significant around Rhyl and Prestatyn, and phosphate limits in parts of the River Dee catchment have affected some schemes.
Before we make an offer in Flint
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Flint ask
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.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is Flint too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles from Flint, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Flint 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.
