The redundant buildings that interests us around Ulverston
We are interested in buildings around Ulverston that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. In Cumbria, Ulverston sits about 49 miles south of Carlisle; Barrow-in-Furness and Morecambe are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
Nutrient neutrality advice has affected several Cumbrian catchments, including the Eden, the Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake and the River Kent, so drainage solutions matter. The west coast's energy and port economy and the M6 and West Coast Main Line corridor through Penrith and Carlisle shape where most new homes are planned.
What usually makes or breaks it
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 124 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Ulverston 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.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 124 miles from Ulverston, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Ulverston 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.
