Barn conversions are generally more expensive to construct than new houses for the reason that, they almost always need major structural alterations to comply with the modern day regulations.

Although it’s not zero VAT rated but 5% rated as for a house left over 3 years unoccupied, barn conversions are not exempt from any other legislation covering construction.

Major work is needed, in the majority of cases, to meet insulation standards and it is unlikely that any existing agricultural roof will meet either the insulation requirements or the structural stability needed to comply. And all of them need to be underpinned or re-enforced for structural but definitely for damp proofing by the soleplates. Some architects will ask you to built a out side skin (a new softwood framing) to not only  protect the barn but to include insulation and keep the natural framing inside the barn.
