Development Land Wanted buys redundant buildings in Mountsorrel and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.

Is your land in Mountsorrel the kind we want?
We are interested in buildings around Mountsorrel that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Mountsorrel lies about 5 miles north of Leicester in Leicestershire. We also cover Loughborough, Leicester, Oadby and the villages between them.
- 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
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.

Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
