The Welsh system, as it applies in Carmarthen
Selling land in Carmarthen 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.
Affordable homes in Carmarthen are mainly provided by councils and registered social landlords, often with Welsh Government Social Housing Grant, and can include social rent, intermediate rent and shared ownership. Private renters hold standard occupation contracts, and landlords must keep homes fit for human habitation. Buying a new home means paying Land Transaction Tax where it applies. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent in Wales and invites you to register interest.

Land and homes in Carmarthen: questions
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 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.
Who decides who gets an affordable or social home?
Councils and housing associations, not developers. They set eligibility, usually based on income, housing need and sometimes a local connection, and allocate homes through their own lists or sales processes. In Northern Ireland, social homes are allocated through the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's common waiting list. Land to Homes does not allocate homes.
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.
Do you buy land in Carmarthen?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Carmarthen and elsewhere in Dyfed, including Ammanford, Aberystwyth and Llanelli. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
