Redundant buildings wanted in Newport
We want to hear from owners of redundant buildings in Newport. 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 Newport the kind we want?
Across Newport, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. In Shropshire, Newport sits about 16 miles east of Shrewsbury; Telford and Wellington 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
- Buildings with or without existing consent
Shropshire includes Telford and Shrewsbury alongside market towns such as Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Market Drayton, Newport and Ludlow, and a large rural area. Green Belt covers the east of the county next to the West Midlands, and the Shropshire Hills National Landscape covers much of the south. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land, especially around Telford's older settlements.
Before we make an offer in Newport
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 25 miles from Newport, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
Four ways to sell to us

Your questions answered
Can a former pub be converted to homes?
Sometimes. Pubs are often protected by local policy, and the August 2026 NPPF aims to avoid loss of valued community facilities, so evidence about viability and need matters.
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.
Is Newport too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 25 miles from Newport, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Newport?
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.
