Funding and Investment Partners in Cheshunt
Land to Homes brings forward land and new homes in Cheshunt 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 we work in Cheshunt
Advice from your own advisers
We do not give legal, tax or financial advice. Every party should take independent advice before entering into any agreement with us.
No money from the public
We do not take deposits, loans or investment from members of the public. Funding is discussed privately with lenders, institutions and landowners only.
Landowner co-investment
A landowner can keep an interest in their land through a joint venture rather than selling outright, with the terms set out in a written agreement.
Equity partners
Institutional partners can discuss forward funding or forward purchase of specific schemes, agreed privately and documented by each party's own advisers.
Planning and land rules in Cheshunt
Affordable homes in Cheshunt are usually funded through a mix of Section 106 contributions from market schemes and grant from Homes England's Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2036, or from the Greater London Authority in London. Registered providers, regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, own and manage most of them. Land to Homes can bring forward land and build homes for councils and housing associations, including homes for Social Rent.
In England, land purchases usually attract Stamp Duty Land Tax, and lenders take a legal charge registered at HM Land Registry. Scheme appraisals must allow for Section 106 obligations, the Community Infrastructure Levy where charged, and biodiversity net gain. Homes England is the government's housing and regeneration agency and runs public funding programmes for housing.

Your questions answered for Cheshunt
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 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.
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 is forward funding?
Forward funding is where an investor, often an institution, buys a site and funds the construction of homes on it, taking ownership of the completed scheme. The developer builds the homes under a development agreement. It is used in build to rent and some affordable housing schemes. The legal and tax structure needs specialist advice for each party.
Do you work with partners on schemes in Cheshunt?
Yes. We discuss schemes in Cheshunt and elsewhere in Hertfordshire, including Welwyn Garden City, Bishops Stortford and Harpenden privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
