Is your land in Llanelli the kind we want?
We look at barns and rural yards around Llanelli and give a straight view on whether conversion or replacement is realistic. Llanelli is in Dyfed, about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Burry Port, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
Before we make an offer in Llanelli
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 113 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Llanelli ask
Does Class Q apply in Wales?
No. Class Q is part of the permitted development rules for England. In Wales, barn conversions generally need a full planning application.
We still use some of the buildings. Can we sell just part of the yard?
Yes. We can look at selling some buildings and keeping others, with access and boundaries agreed.
Do you buy barns and rural buildings in Llanelli?
Yes. We buy barns and rural buildings in Llanelli and throughout Dyfed, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Llanelli to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
