The redundant buildings that interests us around Rawmarsh
We are interested in buildings around Rawmarsh that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Rawmarsh is in South Yorkshire, about 7 miles north-east of Sheffield. Nearby places include Rotherham, Wath-upon-Dearne and Mexborough.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
South Yorkshire centres on Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, with former mining towns such as Wath-upon-Dearne, Mexborough, Maltby and Thorne. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, and the Peak District National Park extends into the west of Sheffield. Former colliery, steel and industrial land, town-centre sites and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing land, with grey belt now relevant on parts of the urban fringe.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Rawmarsh
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 67 miles away, and we buy land throughout 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.
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.
Is Rawmarsh too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 67 miles from Rawmarsh, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Rawmarsh assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
