Expert warns barn conversions in Shropshire may no longer add sale value
What happened
Mike Taylor, a senior partner at Barbers Rural in Shropshire, advised that spending tens of thousands of pounds on planning consent for farmyard barn conversions might not increase the eventual sale price of the property. Taylor suggests that the market for such conversions may have passed its peak, citing development restrictions and the need for careful market research.

Why it matters
