Land & Development

We help landowners, developers, and investors buy and sell commercial development land across Lancashire and Cumbria — from brownfield plots to large-scale residential sites.

Selling or acquiring land for commercial or mixed-use development is a specialised process that demands both technical expertise and deep local knowledge. At Fisher Wrathall Commercial, we support clients through the entire lifecycle — from site appraisal and planning considerations to disposal or acquisition strategy.

What We Sell & Acquire

We deal with a wide range of land opportunities, including:

  • Brownfield redevelopment sites
  • Edge-of-town parcels
  • Residential development land with or without planning
  • Industrial and logistics plots
  • Roadside and service locations
  • Mixed-use and commercial allocations

We work closely with landowners, developers, housing associations, local authorities, and institutional buyers to ensure each site is positioned and marketed effectively.
