Rules that apply in Wrexham
Selling land in Wrexham follows the same legal steps as in England: heads of terms, then exchange of contracts, which makes the deal binding, and completion. Titles are registered with HM Land Registry, but the buyer pays Land Transaction Tax to the Welsh Revenue Authority rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax. Planning obligations are usually secured through a Section 106 agreement, with the Community Infrastructure Levy charged only where the council has adopted it.
Housing associations and councils planning new homes in Wrexham work within Welsh rules: grant comes from the Welsh Government's Social Housing Grant, tenants usually hold secure occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and social landlords are registered and regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Land to Homes can supply land with or without planning, or build homes for transfer to a social landlord on completion.

Questions about Land and homes in Wrexham
Do you have any new homes for sale or rent?
Not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes, plots or developments for sale or rent at the moment. You can register interest with the area and type of home you want, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. We do not take reservations, fees or deposits at this stage.
Can I sell land without planning permission?
Yes. Land often sells without planning, either for a price that reflects the planning risk or under a deal where the price is set once permission is granted. Land to Homes can buy suitable sites directly, with or without planning and with no onward chain, subject to survey, title and contract, or promote the land through planning with you.
Do I need my own solicitor to sell land?
Yes. Every landowner should have their own solicitor on a land sale or agreement, and many also use a land agent or chartered surveyor. On option and promotion agreements with Land to Homes, we pay your reasonable legal fees, with the amount agreed up front in the heads of terms before you instruct anyone.
What is planning permission?
Planning permission is consent from the planning authority to carry out development, such as building new homes or changing the use of land. Applications are judged against the local development plan and national policy, which differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Permission can be full, or outline, which is called planning permission in principle in Scotland.
