Sell an infill plot or gap site in Brighton
If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Brighton, you can deal with the buyer directly. We look at the land, explain what it's worth and why, and leave the decision with you.
An infill plot is a small gap in an otherwise built-up street frontage, between existing homes or buildings. Because it continues an established pattern of development, an infill plot is often one of the more straightforward small sites to get permission for.

What people ask us about infill plots
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.
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
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 you cover the villages around Brighton?
Yes. Villages between Brighton, Hove and Portslade often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
