Why work with Land to Homes in Bordon

Designed for renting

Layouts, storage, specifications and amenities are chosen for long-term letting and management, rather than adapted from homes designed for sale.

Affordable element planned in

Where policy requires affordable homes, we agree the right tenure with the council at planning stage, such as affordable private rent in England.

Not an offer to invest

Nothing here is an offer or invitation to invest. Arrangements are agreed privately with professional partners, each taking its own advice.

Forward purchase

The partner commits to buy the completed homes, while construction is financed separately until the scheme reaches practical completion.

Planning in Bordon: the English rules

Councils and housing associations around Bordon can bid for grant through Homes England's Social and Affordable Homes Programme, which funds Social Rent, Affordable Rent at up to 80% of market rent, and shared ownership. Landlords of the rented homes must be registered with the Regulator of Social Housing. National policy also expects local plans to set a minimum Social Rent proportion for major development. Land to Homes is ready to discuss sites, partnership and delivery.

In England, the National Planning Policy Framework recognises build to rent as a distinct housing type, with affordable private rent as the usual affordable tenure. New private lets are assured periodic tenancies under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Appraisals must allow for Stamp Duty Land Tax, Section 106 obligations and, where charged, the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Common questions in Bordon

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 We do not publish projected profits or performance figures.

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.

What is affordable private rent?

Affordable private rent is the usual form of affordable housing in build to rent schemes in England. Homes are let at a discount to local market rent, managed by the build to rent landlord rather than a housing association, and secured through a planning obligation. Eligibility and the level of discount are set by the council's policy.

Can we discuss a partnership in Bordon?

We are happy to talk about specific opportunities in Bordon and elsewhere in Hampshire, including New Milton, Southampton and Basingstoke. Conversations are private and every arrangement is documented by each party’s own advisers. Nothing here is an invitation to invest.
