What we look for around Pontarddulais

  • Traditional brick, stone or timber barns
  • Farmyards with several buildings and hardstanding
  • Buildings already granted planning permission
  • Former agricultural buildings in or near villages

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.

The things that move our offer

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.

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.

From first call to completion

    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. You get a written offer

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

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in West Glamorgan

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.

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.
