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

Land we're keen to see around Streatham

  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
  • Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

What decides the value of infill plots near Streatham

Frontage width

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

Local plan policy

Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

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.

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.

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

The plot is in a conservation area

Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.

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

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Your questions answered

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.

Do you buy land in Streatham?

Yes. We consider land in and around Streatham and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
