How we arrive at a figure for land in Buckinghamshire

Structural condition

Conversions generally need a building strong enough to convert without rebuilding.

Listed status

Listed and curtilage-listed buildings need listed building consent and careful design.

Protected species

Bats and barn owls are common in old barns and surveys may be needed.

Services

Water, power and drainage to remote buildings can be expensive.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Suits buildings with consent or prior approval already in place.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once planning consent is secured.

Option agreements

Less common for single buildings but can suit whole farmyards.

Joint ventures

Worth considering for a larger yard you'd like to see developed well.

Rules that apply in England

Agricultural buildings (Class Q)

In England, Class Q permitted development can allow some agricultural buildings to become homes through prior approval, within limits on size and number of homes.

Heritage

Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies have their own notice and compensation rules, which affect when land can be developed.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're not sure Class Q applies

In England, Class Q has detailed limits and conditions. We check eligibility before assuming it.

The barn is listed

Listed barns can still be converted with consent, but the design must respect the building.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about barns and rural buildings

What is Class Q?

Class Q is a permitted development right in England that allows some agricultural buildings to become homes through a prior approval process, rather than a full planning application, subject to limits and conditions.

Do I need surveys before selling?

No. We arrange what we need. If you already have structural or ecology surveys, they help.

What if bats are present?

Bat roosts don't usually stop a conversion, but they need surveys, licences and timing. We allow for this in the offer.

Can you visit land near Amersham?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
