Sell an infill plot or gap site in Dartford
We buy infill plots across Kent. In Dartford, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
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.
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Figures explained, so you can check them
- Independent advice encouraged
