Why Commercial Use Unlocks Huge Value

Developers are aggressively seeking land for these high-demand commercial uses:

Retail Parks & Drive-throughs

High-traffic locations with good visibility and access are in constant demand by retail developers.

Business Centres & Wellness Hubs

Flexible workspaces and wellness facilities are booming in suburban and edge-of-town locations.

Logistics & Warehousing

The e-commerce boom has created
unprecedented demand for distribution and fulfillment centers.

Hotels & Leisure Spaces

Hospitality developers seek strategic locations near transport links and attractions.

Mixed-use Regeneration

Combined residential and commercial developments offer maximum potential

If your land is near transport links, urban areas or commercial clusters—its value could skyrocket. Especially if it has planning permission, or qualifies for Permitted Development Rights (PDR) or under the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO).
