Does this mean they can be bought and relocated when they are finally de-commisioned. If so I suspect there will be a rush to buy.

What is the difference between Grade I, Grade II* & Grade II?
Grade I - of exceptional national architectural or historic importance
Grade II* - of particular national importance & special interest
Both Grade I and II* listed buildings are of great importance to the nation’s built heritage and their importance will generally be beyond dispute.
Grade II listed buildings are of special architectural or historic interest and make up about 94% of all listed buildings.
Who decides whether or not a building should be listed or de-listed?
The Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport is responsible for compiling the statutory list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest.
Anyone can apply to have a building listed. Applications should be sent to English Heritage, who administers the application process and provides expert advice to the Secretary of State on which buildings meet the criteria for listing. Further information is available on the English Heritage website.
