What makes barns and rural buildings in Clwyd worth an offer
- Traditional brick, stone or timber barns
- Modern steel-framed agricultural buildings no longer needed
- Farmyards with several buildings and hardstanding
- Buildings already granted planning permission
- Former agricultural buildings in or near villages
Redundant farm buildings can be worth far more as homes than as storage. The route to consent depends on the building, its location and whether you're in England or Wales.
The things that move our offer

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.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Agricultural buildings
England's Class Q rights don't apply in Wales. Converting a barn to a home in Wales generally needs planning permission.
Heritage
Listed buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales are managed with Cadw and the council's conservation officers.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.
Awkward details we deal with
The barn is listed
Listed barns can still be converted with consent, but the design must respect the building.
You're in Wales
Welsh permitted development rules differ from England's, so barn conversions here generally need planning permission. We look at the route under Welsh policy.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map

- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Your questions answered
Does Class Q apply in Wales?
No. Class Q is part of English permitted development rules. In Wales, barn conversions generally need planning permission under Welsh policy.
Do I need surveys before selling?
No. We arrange what we need. If you already have structural or ecology surveys, they help.
Can I sell buildings and keep the land around them?
Yes. We can agree a boundary that suits both of us, with access rights protected.
Do you buy land in Clwyd?
Yes. We consider land across Clwyd, from Wrexham to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
