What we look for around Westminster

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • 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 Westminster

Street character

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

Local plan policy

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

Services

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Choosing how to sell

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London

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
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about infill plots

How wide does an infill plot need to be?

There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.

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.
