Sell an infill plot or gap site in Nottingham

For owners of infill plots in and around Nottingham, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide

What we look for around Nottingham

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • 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 affects the price

Frontage width

Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.

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.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Rules that apply in England

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Heritage

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

Common problems, and how we handle them

The plot is in a conservation area

Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

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.

Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?

Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.

Do I pay anything for your appraisal?

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

Do you cover the villages around Nottingham?

Yes. Villages between Nottingham, West Bridgford and Arnold often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
