How we arrive at a figure for land in West Glamorgan
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.
Listed status
Listed and curtilage-listed buildings need listed building consent and careful design.
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.

Rules that apply in Wales
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.
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.
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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 buy land in Glyn-neath?
Yes. We consider land in and around Glyn-neath and across West 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.
