What we look for in South Yorkshire
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.
The things that move our offer
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.
Local values
What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
Questions from landowners in South Yorkshire
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.
Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in South Yorkshire?
Yes. We consider land across South Yorkshire, from Sheffield to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
