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

West Sussex includes Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Chichester and the coastal towns of Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Shoreham-by-Sea and Lancing. It has only a very small area of Green Belt on the Surrey border, but the South Downs National Park and the High Weald and Chichester Harbour National Landscapes cover large parts. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
Checks we make on barns and rural buildings in Bognor Regis
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 133 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
