Your questions answered
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 buy land in Truro?
Yes. We consider land in and around Truro and across Cornwall. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
