  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Is your land near Eastleigh a good fit?

  • Buildings with existing road access
  • Buildings already granted planning permission
  • Former agricultural buildings in or near villages
  • Redundant poultry, dairy or livestock units

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

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.

Services

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

Retained land

Selling buildings from a working farm needs rights carefully reserved.

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

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Eastleigh

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.

Do you buy land in Eastleigh?

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