Sell an infill plot or gap site in Merthyr Tydfil

Our interest in infill plots around Merthyr Tydfil is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.

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.
