Redundant buildings wanted in Monmouth
We want to hear from owners of redundant buildings in Monmouth. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If you own a building that no longer works for its original purpose, it may suit residential conversion or redevelopment. We consider offices, retail, pubs, community and religious buildings, and more.

Is your land in Monmouth the kind we want?
Across Monmouth, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. In Gwent, Monmouth sits about 17 miles north-east of Cwmbran; Chepstow and Abergavenny 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
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
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.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Monmouth
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 61 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwent
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Monmouth?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Monmouth?
As Monmouth 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.
