Redundant buildings wanted in Edgware
We are actively looking for redundant buildings in Edgware and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A redundant building is one whose original use has ended. Many make good homes through conversion, while others are better redeveloped. We look at the building, its planning position and any community or heritage interest before making an offer.

The redundant buildings that interests us around Edgware
Across Edgware, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Sitting about 10 miles north-west of central London, Edgware is within Greater London, with Borehamwood and Harrow close by.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Edgware
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 95 miles from Edgware, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
