Planning and land rules in Maesteg
Land to Homes buys and promotes land for new homes across Wales, including around Maesteg. 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.
Renting in Maesteg? Since December 2022, Welsh tenancies have been occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and tenants are called contract-holders. Most private renters hold a standard occupation contract, and the notice period for no-fault possession was extended from two months to six. Buyers exchange and complete as in England but pay Land Transaction Tax, not Stamp Duty. Land to Homes has no homes available yet; you can register interest.

Land and homes in Maesteg: questions
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.
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.
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 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 Maesteg?
We do. We work with landowners in Maesteg and elsewhere in Mid Glamorgan, including Bridgend, Pontypridd and Rhondda. Send us a postcode and we will start with a free, no-obligation appraisal of what the land could take.
