Land we're keen to see in Berkshire
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
- Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.
What affects the price
Frontage width
Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.
Local plan policy
Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.
Neighbours
Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.
Services
Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.
Four routes to a sale
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Planning and legal points for land in Berkshire
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
Awkward details we deal with
Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour
Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.
There's an old right of way across it
We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.
Useful to send us
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners in Berkshire
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 I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in Berkshire?
Yes. We consider land across Berkshire, from Reading to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
