Redundant buildings we are looking for in Tamworth
We are interested in buildings around Tamworth that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Tamworth is in Staffordshire, about 21 miles south-east of Stafford. Nearby places include Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Atherstone.
- 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
Staffordshire includes Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Burton upon Trent, Tamworth, Lichfield, Cannock and the moorland town of Leek. Green Belt surrounds the Potteries and covers the south of the county next to the West Midlands, while the Peak District National Park and Cannock Chase National Landscape are major designations. Typical sites include former pottery and colliery land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and village infill.
Before we make an offer in Tamworth
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Tamworth, 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.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Can an agent introduce land in Tamworth to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Tamworth?
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.
