Barns and rural buildings wanted in Brecon
We want to hear from owners of barns and rural buildings in Brecon. 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.

Powys is a large and sparsely populated county with market towns such as Newtown, Welshpool, Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Ystradgynlais and many small villages. There is no green belt, and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park covers much of the south. Phosphate limits in the Wye and Usk river catchments have restricted new housing in large parts of the county, making drainage the first question for many sites.
What decides whether a site in Brecon works
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

No. Class Q is part of the permitted development rules for England. In Wales, barn conversions generally need a full planning application.

Yes. We can look at selling some buildings and keeping others, with access and boundaries agreed.

Yes. We buy barns and rural buildings in Brecon and throughout Powys, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
