Where Brecon sits

The things that move our offer

Planning route

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

Structural condition

Conversions generally need a building strong enough to convert without rebuilding.

Protected species

Bats and barn owls are common in old barns and surveys may be needed.

Retained land

Selling buildings from a working farm needs rights carefully reserved.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

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

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • 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.

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.

Can you visit land near Brecon?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
