Is your land in Oswestry the kind we want?
Across Oswestry, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Oswestry is in Shropshire, about 16 miles north-west of Shrewsbury. Nearby places include Shrewsbury, Chester and Market Drayton.
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
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 Oswestry
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.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 53 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.

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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Oswestry assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
