Sell an infill plot or gap site in Hastings
Selling infill plots near Hastings doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.
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.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer

Land around Hastings
From Hastings, it's 5 miles to Bexhill-on-Sea and 14 miles to Hailsham. We buy land across that whole stretch of East Sussex, not only within the town.
Much of the county lies in the South Downs National Park or the High Weald National Landscape, which limits greenfield development outside the towns.

Is your land near Hastings a good fit?
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Rules that apply in England
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

Common questions
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.
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 I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in Hastings?
Yes. We consider land in and around Hastings and across East Sussex. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
