Sell an infill plot or gap site in Leighton Buzzard
If you own infill plots near Leighton Buzzard, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.
An infill plot is a small gap in an otherwise built-up street frontage, between existing homes or buildings. Because it continues an established pattern of development, an infill plot is often one of the more straightforward small sites to get permission for.

Common questions
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Do you buy land in Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. We consider land in and around Leighton Buzzard and across Bedfordshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
