What redundant buildings we want near West Molesey
We are interested in buildings around West Molesey that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. West Molesey is in Surrey, about 14 miles north-east of Guildford. Nearby places include East Molesey, Sunbury-on-Thames and Walton-on-Thames.
- 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
Heathland protection in the west of the county means many schemes contribute to mitigation for the Thames Basin Heaths, and flood risk from the Thames and Mole affects riverside towns. Stations on the lines into Waterloo and Victoria matter, as English planning policy now gives weight to locations near well-connected stations.

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

Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.

Parts of Surrey are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.

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.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is West Molesey too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 103 miles from West Molesey, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in West Molesey?
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.
