Why buy a farm or farmland in Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester is grass and livestock country. 80% of its farmed land is grass, across 766 commercial holdings running about 18,600 cattle and 50,800 sheep. For land that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
Peak District National Park protect a large part of Greater Manchester, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 10 councils in Greater Manchester, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
