Barns and rural buildings wanted in Bangor
If you own barns and rural buildings in or around Bangor, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Barns and rural buildings can sometimes become homes through conversion or, in some cases, replacement. In England, Class Q permitted development allows certain agricultural buildings to change to residential use; in Wales the route is through a planning application. We buy suitable buildings in both nations.

Barns and rural buildings we are looking for in Bangor
Farm buildings near Bangor that have fallen out of use may suit conversion, particularly traditional barns with a good access. Sitting about 8 miles north-east of Caernarfon, Bangor is within Gwynedd, with Llangefni and Caernarfon close by.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
Gwynedd, as used here, covers north-west Wales and Anglesey, including Bangor, Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llangefni, Porthmadog and Pwllheli. Eryri National Park and the Llŷn and Anglesey National Landscapes cover much of the land, and there is no green belt. Sites tend to be small: edge-of-village land, infill plots, farm buildings and brownfield land in the towns, with Welsh language impact and local housing need often central to decisions.
What decides whether a site in Bangor works
Protected species
Bats and barn owls are common in rural buildings and need surveys at the right time of year.
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 104 miles from Bangor, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Bangor ask
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 bats stop a barn conversion?
Not usually, but surveys and mitigation are needed, and survey seasons can affect timing.
Is Bangor too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles from Bangor, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Bangor 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.
