What affects the price
Frontage width
Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.
Street character
Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.
Services
Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.
Ways to sell this land
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

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.
There's an old right of way across it
We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Any planning applications or letters
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
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.
Do you buy land in Somerset?
Yes. We consider land across Somerset, from Bath to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
