How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

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

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Joint ventures

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