Sell an infill plot or gap site in Morden

If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Morden, 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.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Is your land near Morden a good fit?

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

What affects the price

Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.

Neighbours

Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Local values

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

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Simple where permission already exists.

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Option agreements

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

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Questions from landowners near Morden

Is infill easier to get permission for?

Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.

Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?

Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.

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 Morden?

Yes. Villages between Morden, Mitcham and Wimbledon often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
