Overgrown gap site between two stone-and-brick cottages on a village street

Land we're keen to see in Greater London

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish

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

Street character

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

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.

Four routes to a sale

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Outright purchase

Simple where permission already exists.

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Option agreements

Seldom needed for single infill plots.

Joint ventures

Possible for a pair of homes if you'd like a share.

From first call to completion

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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 I pay anything for your appraisal?

No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.

Do you buy land in Greater London?

Yes. We consider land across Greater London, from central London to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
