Planning and land rules in Risca
In Wales, new affordable homes in Risca are mainly delivered by councils and registered social landlords, supported by Social Housing Grant, the Welsh Government's main capital programme for affordable housing. Section 106 agreements secure affordable homes on market schemes, in line with Local Development Plan policy. Registered social landlords are registered and regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Land to Homes can bring forward land and build homes with councils and housing associations.
In Wales, Land Transaction Tax replaces Stamp Duty Land Tax, and security is registered at HM Land Registry. Appraisals must allow for Section 106 obligations, the Community Infrastructure Levy where adopted and approval of sustainable drainage by the SuDS approving body. The Development Bank of Wales, owned by the Welsh Government, offers property development lending among its services.

Common questions in Risca
Is anything on this site regulated investment advice?
No. Land to Homes does not give investment, financial, tax or legal advice, and nothing on this site is an offer, invitation or recommendation to invest. Funding discussions take place privately with lenders and professional parties, who rely on their own advisers and due diligence. If you are unsure about any investment, speak to an independent regulated adviser.
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.
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.
What types of funding do residential developments use?
Typically a mix of senior development debt, sometimes mezzanine debt, and equity from the developer and its partners. Build to rent and affordable homes may use forward funding or forward purchase by an institution or registered provider. Landowners can also contribute land through a joint venture. The right structure depends on the scheme, and each party takes independent advice.
Do you work with partners on schemes in Risca?
Yes. We discuss schemes in Risca and elsewhere in Gwent, including Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Caerphilly privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
