Sell an infill plot or gap site in Worcester

If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Worcester, 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.
