Redundant buildings wanted in Prestatyn
We are actively looking for redundant buildings in Prestatyn and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.

What redundant buildings we want near Prestatyn
Across Prestatyn, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. In Clwyd, Prestatyn sits about 16 miles north-west of Mold; Rhyl and Abergele are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
Before we make an offer in Prestatyn
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
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.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 83 miles from Prestatyn, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Redundant buildings in Prestatyn: common questions
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 Prestatyn too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 83 miles from Prestatyn, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Prestatyn?
As Prestatyn is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
