Sell an infill plot or gap site in Dorset
We buy infill plots across Dorset, including around Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth. You deal with the buyer directly and there's no commission to pay.
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

What we look for in Dorset
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- 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
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.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Planning and legal points for land in Dorset
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
The plot is in a conservation area
Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.
There's an old right of way across it
We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Your questions answered
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 I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in Dorset?
Yes. We consider land across Dorset, from Bournemouth to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
