What makes infill plots near Lancaster worth an offer
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

Questions from landowners near Lancaster
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 buy land in Lancaster?
Yes. We consider land in and around Lancaster and across Lancashire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
