Why work with Land to Homes in Lurgan
Management in mind

Houses or apartments
Single-family rental houses on suburban sites or apartments in towns, depending on the site, the planning context and the partner's requirements.
Forward purchase
The partner commits to buy the completed homes, while construction is financed separately until the scheme reaches practical completion.
Nation-aware tenancies
Each nation has its own tenancy law, and schemes are planned with the rules that will apply to tenants and landlords in mind.
The Northern Irish system, as it applies in Lurgan
In Northern Ireland, housing associations find sites and develop schemes under the Social Housing Development Programme, while the Housing Executive assesses housing need in areas such as Lurgan. Councils' Local Development Plans can also require affordable homes on private developments, secured through a Section 76 planning agreement. Land to Homes can supply land, design and construction, or deliver completed homes for transfer to a registered housing association.
In Northern Ireland, rented homes are let under the Private Tenancies Order as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022, and private landlords must register with the Landlord Registration Scheme. Stamp Duty Land Tax applies, title is registered with Land & Property Services, and planning agreements are made under Section 76 with the council.

Your questions answered for Lurgan
Is this an investment opportunity?
No. Nothing on this site is an offer or invitation to invest, and we do not take money from members of the public. Build to rent partnerships are agreed privately with institutions, registered providers and other professional parties, each relying on its own advisers and due diligence. We do not publish projected profits or performance figures.
How do tenancy rules affect build to rent?
Build to rent homes are let under the private tenancy law of each nation. In England, most new private tenancies are assured periodic tenancies under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Wales uses occupation contracts, Scotland the private residential tenancy and Northern Ireland the Private Tenancies Order regime. Schemes are planned with these rules in mind.
What is the difference between forward funding and forward purchase?
With forward funding, the partner buys the site and pays for construction in stages as the scheme is built. With forward purchase, the partner agrees to buy the finished homes on completion, while the developer arranges construction finance in the meantime. The structures share risk differently, so each party takes its own legal and tax advice.
Can registered providers take on build to rent homes?
Yes. Registered providers can acquire rental homes through forward purchase or package deals, including homes for social rent, affordable rent, mid-market rent or market rent, depending on the nation and their own objectives. We discuss schemes with providers and plan them around the provider's standards and funding conditions.
Do you work with partners on schemes in Lurgan?
Yes. We discuss schemes in Lurgan and elsewhere in County Armagh, including Armagh and Portadown privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
