Sell an infill plot or gap site in Great Sankey
We buy infill plots across Cheshire. In Great Sankey, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Questions from landowners near Great Sankey
What is an infill plot?
A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Do you cover the villages around Great Sankey?
Yes. Villages between Great Sankey, Warrington and Newton-le-Willows often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
