Sell an infill plot or gap site in Godalming

If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Godalming, you can deal with the buyer directly. We look at the land, explain what it's worth and why, and leave the decision with you.

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.

  • Free appraisal and written offer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it

Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.

Can you check the conservation area rules for me?

Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.

Yes. We consider land in and around Godalming and across Surrey. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
