Traditional red-brick barn beside a modern green steel agricultural building in a farmyard

Is your land near Flint a good fit?

  • Modern steel-framed agricultural buildings no longer needed
  • Farmyards with several buildings and hardstanding
  • Buildings with existing road access
  • Buildings already granted planning permission

We look at traditional barns and modern agricultural buildings, check the planning options and make an offer that reflects the realistic route.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Clwyd

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.

Four routes to a sale

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.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in Clwyd

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.

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

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Will you buy a barn in poor condition?

Yes, but condition affects the planning route and the cost, so it affects the price.

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 Flint?

Yes. We consider land in and around Flint and across Clwyd. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
