Is your land near East Grinstead a good fit?
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

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.
Awkward details we deal with

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Common questions
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.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Do you buy land in East Grinstead?
Yes. We consider land in and around East Grinstead and across West Sussex. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
