What makes infill plots near Guildford worth an offer
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- 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.

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

Your questions answered
What is an infill plot?
A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
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 Guildford?
Yes. Villages between Guildford, Godalming and Woking often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
