Sell an infill plot or gap site in Berkhamsted
For owners of infill plots in and around Berkhamsted, 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.

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.
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.
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 Berkhamsted?
Yes. Villages between Berkhamsted, Chesham and Hemel Hempstead often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
