Look up your local authority planning website, you should be able to review other applications for retention and look at the documents and drawings that they supplied.I'll check CoCo for that. I'd say most of the building was done post 63. One final question. Is applying for retention, if needed, a long drawn out process in terms of cost,time and any potential refusals?
Wow.Worth having a discussion with Estate Agent if they add any value to the price of property. You can go all the hassle but if these buildings don't add much value, it might be better to demolish. Other option is to leave 25sqm near the house and porch as they are exempt and clear out rest.
Potentially makes perfect sense if their presence detracts from the look and potential sale price. A number of small sheds with leaking roofs and wiring that needs to be replaced would be enough to put some potential buyers off, especially those with small children if they perceive them to pose a risk. Retention could be a challenge and without that you may end up with delays after the preferred bidder is unable to draw down.Wow.
To do so on the "advice" of an auctioneer - as was recommended above - would IMHO be foolhardy.Potentially makes perfect sense if their presence detracts from the look and potential sale price.
The suggestion was to consult an auctioneer on whether they added any value as they stand. That is sensible advice as auctioneers active in an area will be familiar with what current buyers are looking for. In my experience they are slow to advise carrying out any works that won't make a significant difference.To do so on the "advice" of an auctioneer - as was recommended above - would IMHO be foolhardy.

That challenge is likely to be non-existent. Half the older homes in my neck of the woods are current or former farmhouses and almost all have sheds or outbuildings. There is a brisk trade in these properties as the older generations die off. I've never heard of even one having planning issues relating to these outbuildings. They are usually marketed as enhancing value to the core property.Given the likely challenge or obtaining retention for 6 sheds and the costs that will be involved in getting a decision. If they detract from the value of the property, getting rid of them is the logical move.
Perhaps I've just dealt with better ones than you have.Auctioneers are rarely if ever in the advice business.
So farming exemptions apply there. I'm not far from your neck of the woods and the people I bought from had to supply a current cert of opinion on compliance before I could close the purchase.That challenge is likely to be non-existent.

My observation that they're not in the advice business is hardly a controversial one.Perhaps I've just dealt with better ones than you have.
Unless these extend to historic farming activities, no.So farming exemptions apply there. I'm not far from your neck of the woods and the people I bought from had to supply a current cert of opinion on compliance before I could close the purchase.
I didn't claim it was, just that my experience of the agents I have dealt with over the years is the opposite. Sound advice was forthcoming and they universally advised against any work or changes that wouldn't add significant value.My observation that they're not in the advice business is hardly a controversial one.
They do, have a read.Unless these extend to historic farming activities, no.
Merely a suggestion to consult Auctioneer. OP is selling property and an Auctioneer can give guide price with or without leaking sheds.Wow.
