Land we're keen to see around Welshpool

  • Traditional brick, stone or timber barns
  • Farmyards with several buildings and hardstanding
  • Buildings with existing road access
  • Redundant poultry, dairy or livestock units

We look at traditional barns and modern agricultural buildings, check the planning options and make an offer that reflects the realistic route.

What affects the price

Planning route

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

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.

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

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

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Powys

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Welshpool

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Welshpool?

Yes. Villages between Welshpool, Newtown and Oswestry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
