Rules that apply in Wishaw
Land sales in Scotland are concluded through missives, an exchange of formal letters between solicitors. Once missives are concluded they form a binding contract, and the buyer takes entry at settlement, then registers the title with Registers of Scotland. For land near Wishaw, missives can be made conditional on planning permission in principle, so the sale only proceeds if consent is secured. The buyer pays Land and Buildings Transaction Tax to Revenue Scotland.
Buying a home in Wishaw works differently in Scotland. Offers are made through a solicitor, and the purchase becomes binding when missives are concluded. Most resale homes come with a Home Report, but a brand-new home sold to its first occupier is exempt, although the seller must still provide an Energy Performance Certificate. Buyers pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax. Land to Homes has no homes for sale yet; register interest to hear about future plans.

Land and homes in Wishaw: questions
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 a new-build warranty?
It is an insurance-backed policy covering certain defects in a new home for a set period after completion. The builder is usually responsible for most defects early in the cover, and the warranty provider covers major structural problems later. Most mortgage lenders expect a recognised warranty, or a professional consultant's certificate, before they lend on a new home.
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.
How do I register interest in a new home?
Tell us your contact details, preferred areas, the type and size of home, whether you want to buy or rent, and your timing. Registering is free, it is not a reservation or an application, and you can ask us to remove your details at any time. We use it to contact you and to understand what people need.
Do you buy land in Wishaw?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Wishaw and elsewhere in Lanarkshire, including Cambuslang, Coatbridge and Rutherglen. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
