Sell an infill plot or gap site in Bridgend

If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Bridgend, you can deal with the buyer directly. We look at the land, explain what it's worth and why, and leave the decision with you.

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.

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

Land we're keen to see around Bridgend

  • 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.

The things that move our offer

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.

Services

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

What people ask us about infill plots

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 I pay anything for your appraisal?

No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.

Can you visit land near Bridgend?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
