Some of this will depend on the capability of the hardware you have bought.
One issue is whether it performs the necessary steps to detect radar. If so, then it opens up availability to 19 channels, each 20MHz wide. Without this, you are restricted to 4 of those channels.
The second issue relates to outdoor use - which you are, essentially, using for your point to point inter-building link. Strictly, you should only be using band B (channels 100-140) for outdoor use, which is entirely within the "radar detection required" spectrum, but also allows for higher power.
This stuff might help - UK specific document first, and other articles following:
http://wifinigel.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/5GHzI think 2.4GHz only has more range when you can't use the full power capabilities available in the 5GHz spectrum. The document linked above shows the extra power available to Band B, but there is a further Band C available with even higher power - but that requires a minimal amount of licencing with Ofcom.
This Solwise document has some good comparisons between 2.4GHz and 5GHz for both indoor and outdoor use:
http://www.solwise.co.uk/downloads/files/intheuk5ghz.pdfI reckon you could probably manage to get everything into the 5GHz spectrum if you used decent equipment, with access to the right controls over channels and power. The Ubiquiti stuff probably qualifies.
Ubiquiti seems to have upgraded their range recently, with a couple of new 802.11ac access points. If I were changing our network now, I'd be considering one of the UAP-AC-LITE models, or if I needed the range, the UAP-AC-LR model.
