What makes barns and rural buildings near Llantwit Major worth an offer
- Traditional brick, stone or timber barns
- Modern steel-framed agricultural buildings no longer needed
- Buildings with existing road access
- 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.
What affects the price
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.
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

What Wales's rules mean for your land
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.
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 plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about barns and rural buildings
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.
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 Llantwit Major?
Yes. We consider land in and around Llantwit Major and across South Glamorgan. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
