Direct commercial and land buyers

Complex sites need an experienced buyer.

MacTrad acquires commercial property, land and development opportunities directly from owners — particularly where planning, environmental, access or operational constraints call for a practical view.

What we consider

Commercial opportunities beyond the straightforward.

We take a considered view on sites that may be constrained, complicated or overlooked — with the ability to assess the whole picture before deciding whether to buy.

Planning and enforcement matters

Commercial property and mixed-use sites

Planning and enforcement matters

A direct conversation gives us the context that a conventional sale process can overlook, so we can assess the asset on its full facts.

Environmental and operational constraints

Industrial, logistics and former-use land

Environmental and operational constraints

Rather than preparing a difficult site for the open market and managing repeated enquiries, owners can discuss the full position with us directly. We assess the issues ourselves, giving you a clear route to move on without carrying the uncertainty of an extended sale process.

A direct route for difficult sites

When a site has issues, the right conversation matters.

We consider commercial premises and land affected by planning breaches, enforcement action, contamination, access constraints, fly-tipping or unusual tenure. An issue does not automatically rule out a direct purchase.

Discuss a complex site

London-led, wider reach

Local understanding. National opportunity.

MacTrad is rooted in London and considers opportunities across the UK. We look at each site on its facts, its constraints and its potential — not a rigid tick-box list.

Have a site to discuss?

Start with the facts.

Tell us about the commercial property or land, including any planning, environmental or operational issues. We will consider whether MacTrad is the right direct buyer.

A short outline is enough to begin: location, property type, tenure, current use and any time pressure. If the site is complex, include what is making it difficult — we value a clear picture over a polished proposal.
