Rules that apply in Wales
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it

- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Tenby
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.
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.
