How we arrive at a figure for land in Wiltshire

Structural condition

Conversions generally need a building strong enough to convert without rebuilding.

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

Worth considering for a larger yard you'd like to see developed well.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

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

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Wiltshire

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

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.

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

  • 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

Common questions

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.

What if bats are present?

Bat roosts don't usually stop a conversion, but they need surveys, licences and timing. We allow for this in the offer.
