Is your land near Sevenoaks a good fit?

  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
  • 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.

What decides the value of infill plots near Sevenoaks

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

Services

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.

Four routes to a sale

Questions from landowners near Sevenoaks

Is infill easier to get permission for?

Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.

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.

Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
