What affects the price
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.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.
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
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
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.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Do you buy land in Suffolk?
Yes. We consider land across Suffolk, from Ipswich to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
