Sell an infill plot or gap site in the Isle of Wight

We buy infill plots across the Isle of Wight, including around Newport, Isle of Wight, Ryde and Cowes. You deal with the buyer directly and there's no commission to pay.

If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Land we're keen to see in the Isle of Wight

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
  • Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

The things that move our offer

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.

Neighbours

Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Rules that apply in England

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

The plot is in a conservation area

Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.

There's an old right of way across it

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

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.

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.

Do you buy land in the Isle of Wight?

Yes. We consider land across the Isle of Wight, from Newport to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
