Redundant buildings we are looking for in Loughborough
Across Loughborough, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Sitting about 9 miles north of Leicester, Loughborough is within Leicestershire, with Mountsorrel and Coalville close by.
- 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
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
Before we make an offer in Loughborough
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Leicestershire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Loughborough are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 33 miles from Loughborough, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Loughborough ask
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.
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 Loughborough?
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 Loughborough?
As Loughborough is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
