Sell an infill plot or gap site in Tamworth

We consider infill plots in Tamworth and across Staffordshire, from sites close to the B79 postcode district out towards Polesworth and Lichfield.

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
  • Figures explained, so you can check them

What we look for around Tamworth

  • Plots between two houses in a village or town

If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Staffordshire

Street character

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

Local plan policy

Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

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

Outright purchase

Simple where permission already exists.

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Option agreements

Seldom needed for single infill plots.

Joint ventures

Possible for a pair of homes if you'd like a share.

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

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

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell
