Sell an infill plot or gap site in Kettering
For owners of infill plots in and around Kettering, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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
- No pressure to decide
- Independent advice encouraged

Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.

Common questions
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
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 you buy land in Kettering?
Yes. We consider land in and around Kettering and across Northamptonshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
