The things that move our offer

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.

Agricultural use history

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

Choosing how to sell

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

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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Maghull

Will you buy a barn in poor condition?

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

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.

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.
