Land we're keen to see around Cricklewood

  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish

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

What decides the value of infill plots near Cricklewood

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.

Local values

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

Four routes to a sale

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.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

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

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

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

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

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

There's an old right of way across it

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

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.
