Barns and rural buildings wanted in Treorchy
We want to hear from owners of barns and rural buildings in Treorchy. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A redundant barn, stable block or yard can have residential potential. Traditional buildings often suit conversion, while modern steel barns may qualify for permitted development in England. We assess the building, access and planning route before proposing a deal.

Is your land in Treorchy the kind we want?

- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
What usually makes or breaks it
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
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.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 92 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Is Treorchy too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Treorchy, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Treorchy assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
