3 bay hayshed value to dismantle and sell

lotusm

Hi,

I am building a new house extension close to an existing 3 bay hayshed built fifty years ago. It is attached to another shed.
The hayshed is in fair condition for its age. it has been painted down through the years, there is some rust at the edges about 5 foot from from the ground. because it is attached to the shed 3 of girders are cemented into wall of shed.
I want to sell it and for the buyer to dismantle it. Just wondering what kind price should I be asking for ?

thanks

Hard to know really without seeing pics and dimensions.

If it was worth taking down and putting up again would you not to that yourself? Wouldn't it be great to get it taken down for free.

A short answer , very little is what's it's worth to someone.
You have to factor in labour for taking it down , putting it up again. You will probably cut the pillars off at the ground , so it will be 2 ft lower when put back up. Then when you see 50 year old timber on the ground , you may ask yourself , would I be better putting new timber on it ?
A lot of people would sooner have €1000 worth of new pillars and sheeting to work with , than pay €1000 for your shed.
I personally think something like €500-€800 would be enough for it. I remember a relative buying a yard with a similar type building , used as a workshop , there. The builder took it as a fee for taking it down ,, before building the new premises, and both parties were happy .

Thanks very much for the detail reply. I was thinking less than 1k would be fair price.

Just make sure the buyer understands the risks, and that you are not liable if he falls off/through the roof while dismantling it.

You would be lucky to get 1000 euro for it. Neighbour up here sold one for 600 and buyer dismantled. Was in pretty good condition . Good but if work involved in getting it down.

I see on done deal a 3 bay with lean to and were originally asking 8500 for it. Not sure what planet they were on. Reduced now to 4500 but still twice the value of it.

You would be a long way to putting up s nice shed for 4500 and have proper cladding rather than painting galvanise.

Op you need employers liability insurance for anyone dismantling it, it will set you back over €200 as you need to take it out for a year.

V important consideration. Who would think of it? Not until a letter arrived inthe letterbox! Could be worth having a go taking it down!!

are you sure on that? ive my own employers and public liability, working at heights and all the other ones with my fulltime job and would that not require that every house i worked for still not need employers liability as well. I thought the point of me having a full policy was so that no liability was to be laid back on whoever or wherever i was working.

50 year old 3 bay shed. Back in the day it probably cost ~£3K, excluding block work.

I'd say you'd be doing well to have someone take it down for free for you.

Any shed i heard taken away was done for free, ie keep the shed as labour.
Factor in cost of tele-porter , gennie plus 3 men to take it down. + transport the sheets and timbers away

Different situation in an increasingly litigious society. The person buying the shed may have no insurance (in fact more than likely they won't). What happens if they fall taking down the shed or the shed falls on them because they don't really know what they're at.
You as a professional hired to do the job has full insurance to cover everyone no matter where your working.

well then its just a matter of them ensuring whoever they get has insurance and know what their at.

True but it'll be hard to get any payment for the shed too unless it's a builder buys it. Anybody who buys the shed and has to pay someone to take it down won't be able to afford to pay much for it.

The thing is there's a huge amount of builder farmers so it shouldn't be that hard.

More like £300, back in the 60's you would have built a decent sized bungalow for 3k.

Pictures make it look good enough. Would depend on how good it was in reality. If you took it down yourself and put it up on done deal you'd get a buyer for it. Depends on how much it would cost to take down.

Why you taking it down. Are you putting a new shed in its place.

I used to have cattle in a lean to beside it and round bales of straw in the shed itself,but now I keep all animals on home farm.Its lying unused there now for a few years so it has no use up there.

I was thinking if I moved it back to farmyard and rebuilt it then I could use it as a machinery shed or something.
