Redundant buildings wanted in Abertillery
We are actively looking for redundant buildings in Abertillery 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.

Is your land in Abertillery the kind we want?
Across Abertillery, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Abertillery is in Gwent, about 7 miles north-west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Pontypool, Newbridge and Ebbw Vale.
- 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
Newport's adopted Local Development Plan designates a green belt between Newport and Cardiff, and Future Wales anticipates a wider green belt for south-east Wales once a regional plan sets its boundary. Newport and Cwmbran see the strongest demand, while Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and the Wye Valley National Landscape cover northern and eastern parts of the area.
What usually makes or breaks it
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 77 miles from Abertillery, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
