Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Barns

Do I need planning permission before selling my barn?

No. We buy barns and farm buildings both with and without planning permission. Many agricultural buildings qualify for Class Q permitted development rights, and our planning team will assess the best route for your property.

What is Class Q permitted development?

Class Q allows the conversion of certain agricultural buildings to residential use without full planning permission. It applies to buildings that were used for agriculture on or before a specific date and meet structural and location criteria. We can advise whether your building qualifies.

What types of barns and farm buildings do you buy?

We buy traditional stone barns, brick barns, timber-framed agricultural buildings, stables, cart sheds, granaries, outbuildings, and complete farm complexes. We also consider barns with surrounding land.

Are there any fees to sell my barn?

No. We are direct buyers and there are no agents' fees, no hidden costs, and no obligations. We deal with you directly throughout the entire process.

Does my barn need to be in good condition?

Not necessarily. We consider barns and farm buildings in all conditions, from structurally sound buildings to those requiring significant restoration. The key factors are location, the building's footprint, and its conversion potential.
