Planning and land rules in Caerphilly
Social Housing Grant funds councils and registered social landlords to buy land, build new homes and convert existing buildings across Wales, including around Caerphilly. It can support social rent, intermediate rent and shared ownership. On private schemes, the council's Local Development Plan sets the affordable housing requirement, which is secured through a Section 106 agreement. Land to Homes can offer sites, design and construction to housing association partners.
In Wales, rented homes are let under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, with tenants as contract-holders on standard occupation contracts. Landlords and managing agents must comply with Rent Smart Wales registration and licensing. Land Transaction Tax applies to acquisitions, and most schemes need sustainable drainage approval from the SuDS approving body.

Common questions in Caerphilly
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.
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.
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 We do not publish projected profits or performance figures.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.
Can we discuss a partnership in Caerphilly?
We are happy to talk about specific opportunities in Caerphilly and elsewhere in Gwent, including Newport, Ebbw Vale and Cwmbran. Conversations are private and every arrangement is documented by each party’s own advisers. Nothing here is an invitation to invest.
