Gaps in a continuous street frontage
Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish

Neighbours

Services

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

Local values

What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.

Choosing how to sell

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
