Funding and Investment Partners in Strabane

How do funding partners work with us in Strabane?

Land to Homes brings forward land and new homes in Strabane and across the UK, and some schemes need outside funding. That might be development debt from a lender, forward funding from an institutional partner, or a landowner keeping a stake through a joint venture. We discuss funding privately, and nothing here is an invitation to invest or regulated investment advice.

How the rules work in Strabane

In Northern Ireland, planning applications for new homes around Strabane are decided by the local district council, one of 11, while the Department for Infrastructure decides regionally significant schemes. Councils apply the Strategic Planning Policy Statement and their Local Development Plan, together with retained planning policy statements until their Plan Strategy is adopted. Land to Homes offers a free site appraisal and can buy suitable land directly or promote it through planning.

In Northern Ireland, Stamp Duty Land Tax applies, and title and charges are registered with Land & Property Services. Planning agreements are made under Section 76, and most applications are decided by the 11 district councils. Northern Ireland property law and procedure differ from the rest of the UK, so partners need local legal advice.

Common questions in Strabane

How is forward purchase different from forward funding?

With forward funding, the investor pays for the land and construction as the scheme is built. With forward purchase, the investor commits to buy the completed homes, but the developer arranges construction finance in the meantime. The choice affects risk, cost and timing for both parties, so each takes its own advice before agreeing terms.

What information do funding partners usually review?

Partners usually review the site title, the planning position, the scheme appraisal, the build programme, the construction approach, the plan for selling or letting the homes and the developer's background. Each carries out its own due diligence, often with valuers, monitoring surveyors and solicitors. We share site-specific information under confidentiality where appropriate.

Can I invest in Land to Homes?

Nothing on this site is an offer or invitation to invest, and we do not take investment, loans or deposits from members of the public. We discuss funding privately with development lenders and institutional partners on specific schemes. If you are a professional party with an interest in residential development, you can contact us to start a conversation.

How can a landowner co-invest in a development?

Instead of selling outright, a landowner can put land into a joint venture with a developer, agreeing how costs, decisions and proceeds are shared. This can suit landowners who want a longer-term involvement. It carries more risk than a sale, so independent legal, tax and financial advice is essential before agreeing any terms.

Do you work with partners on schemes in Strabane?

Yes. We discuss schemes in Strabane and elsewhere in County Tyrone, including Dungannon, Omagh and Cookstown privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
