Infill plots wanted in Romford
If you own infill plots in or around Romford, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Infill plots fill a gap in an existing street. They are usually small, but because they sit within built-up areas the planning case can be good. We buy infill land across England and Wales, with or without consent.

Is your land in Romford the kind we want?
Around Romford, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Romford lies about 14 miles east of central London in Greater London. We also cover Hornchurch, Dagenham, Upminster and the villages between them.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
What usually makes or breaks it
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 111 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Greater London
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.

Which planning rules apply to land in Romford?
