Sell an infill plot or gap site in Weymouth
We buy infill plots across Dorset. In Weymouth, 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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them

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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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
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 Weymouth?
Yes. We consider land in and around Weymouth and across Dorset. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
