Is your land near Hedon a good fit?

  • Modern steel-framed agricultural buildings no longer needed
  • Farmyards with several buildings and hardstanding
  • Buildings with existing road access
  • Buildings with Class Q prior approval in place

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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Planning route

Full planning and, in England, Class Q prior approval follow different rules and limits.

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.

Agricultural use history

Class Q rights depend on the building's past agricultural use.

From first call to completion

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Hedon

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.

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.
