Sell an infill plot or gap site in Cardiff
Whether your land is in Cardiff itself or in the villages between Cardiff and Llandaff, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.
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.

What makes infill plots near Cardiff worth an offer
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

Common questions
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.
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 Cardiff?
Yes. Villages between Cardiff, Llandaff and Whitchurch often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
