Rules that apply in Lurgan
Land to Homes works with landowners across Northern Ireland, including in and around Lurgan. We start with a free appraisal of planning policy, access and constraints, then set out a direct offer or option or promotion terms in writing. Each council's Local Development Plan is prepared in two stages, a Plan Strategy and a Local Policies Plan, so the stage your council has reached affects how a site is assessed. Planning permission is never guaranteed.
Social homes in Lurgan are allocated through the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's Housing Selection Scheme and provided by the Housing Executive and housing associations. Private renters are protected by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, which lengthened notice-to-quit periods. Buyers pay Stamp Duty Land Tax and register title with Land & Property Services. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent in Northern Ireland; register interest to hear more.

Questions about Land and homes in Lurgan
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.
How do I sell land for development?
Start with an appraisal of what the land could take and the routes open to you: a direct sale, an option agreement or a promotion agreement. Then take independent advice from a solicitor and, ideally, a land agent before agreeing heads of terms. Land to Homes offers a free, no-obligation site appraisal and explains each route in writing.
How is the price of development land worked out?
Development land is usually valued by working back from what the finished homes would be worth, then deducting build costs, infrastructure, planning obligations such as affordable housing, fees, finance and a developer's margin. This is called a residual valuation. We do not quote land values online; our free appraisal explains the factors that affect your site.
Do you pay my legal fees?
On option and promotion agreements, yes. We pay your reasonable legal fees, and the amount is agreed up front in the heads of terms before you instruct a solicitor, so there are no surprises later. On a direct purchase, each side normally pays its own legal costs, and we will explain the position before you commit.
Do you work with landowners in Lurgan?
We do. We work with landowners in Lurgan and elsewhere in County Armagh, including Armagh and Portadown. Send us a postcode and we will start with a free, no-obligation appraisal of what the land could take.
