How we arrive at a figure for land in Warwickshire
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.
Four routes to a sale

Suits buildings with consent or prior approval already in place.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once planning consent is secured.

Less common for single buildings but can suit whole farmyards.
Joint ventures

Planning and legal points for land in Warwickshire
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
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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.
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 Warwick?
Yes. Villages between Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa and Kenilworth often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
