The redundant buildings that interests us around Bideford
We are interested in buildings around Bideford that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Bideford lies about 36 miles north-west of Exeter in Devon. We also cover Barnstaple, Tiverton, Exeter and the villages between them.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
The A30, A38 and M5 corridors and the main line from Exeter to Plymouth carry most of Devon's planned growth, including new communities east of Exeter. In coastal towns, flood risk and coastal change can affect sites, while nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Axe catchment on the Dorset border.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Bideford
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.
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.
Devon has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Bideford are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 144 miles away, and we buy land throughout 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.
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.
