Planning in Caerphilly: the Welsh rules
Land to Homes buys and promotes land for new homes across Wales, including around Caerphilly. Some landowners prefer a direct sale with no onward chain, subject to survey, title and contract. Others choose a promotion agreement, where we fund the planning work and recover our costs from the sale proceeds only if the land sells with planning. Either way, decisions follow the Local Development Plan and Planning Policy Wales, and nothing is certain until consent is granted.
New-build buyers in Caerphilly usually receive a structural warranty, and many arrange a snagging check before completion. In Wales, contracts are exchanged and completed as in England, titles are registered with HM Land Registry, and Land Transaction Tax is paid to the Welsh Revenue Authority. If you rent instead, your landlord must give you a written statement of your occupation contract. We have no homes available yet, but you can register interest.

Your questions answered for Caerphilly
What are heads of terms?
Heads of terms are a short written summary of the main points of a deal, such as the price or price formula, the length of an option or promotion, who pays which costs and any conditions. They are not usually legally binding, but they guide the solicitors who draft the contract. We set out your legal fee cover in them.
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.
What are the New Homes Quality Code and New Homes Ombudsman?
The New Homes Quality Code is a code of practice for developers registered with the New Homes Quality Board, covering how homes are marketed, reserved, sold and handed over, and after-sales care. Buyers of homes from registered developers can usually take unresolved complaints to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. The framework currently covers England, Scotland and Wales.
Can you guarantee my land will get planning permission?
No one can guarantee planning permission. Decisions rest with the planning authority or, on appeal, an independent appeal body. What we can do is assess the prospects honestly, prepare a thorough application and deal with likely objections early. If we think a site is unlikely to succeed, we will tell you before anyone spends time or money on it.
Do you buy land in Caerphilly?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Caerphilly and elsewhere in Gwent, including Newport, Risca and Ebbw Vale. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
