Sell an infill plot or gap site in Sale
For owners of infill plots in and around Sale, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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.

Common questions
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 cover the villages around Sale?
Yes. Villages between Sale, Stretford and Urmston often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
