What people ask us about infill plots

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.

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.

Do you cover the villages around Risca?

Yes. Villages between Risca, Newport, Gwent and Cwmbran often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
