Sell an infill plot or gap site in Newtown

We buy infill plots across Powys. In Newtown, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

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

What makes infill plots near Newtown worth an offer

Infill development is supported in many local plans, especially within settlement boundaries. We check how your council treats it.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Heritage

Listed buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales are managed with Cadw and the council's conservation officers.

When the land isn't straightforward

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

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

There's an old right of way across it

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

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.
