Funding and Investment Partners in Scunthorpe
Land to Homes brings forward land and new homes in Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe
In England, affordable housing on market developments in Scunthorpe is normally secured through a Section 106 agreement, which sets the number, tenure and transfer of homes to a registered provider. Grant from Homes England can add further homes, and the 2026 to 2036 programme expects at least 60% of funded homes to be Social Rent. Land to Homes can supply land, design and build homes, or deliver completed homes for councils and housing associations.
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.

Questions about Funding and Investment Partners in Scunthorpe
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.
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.
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.
Do you work with partners on schemes in Scunthorpe?
Yes. We discuss schemes in Scunthorpe and elsewhere in Lincolnshire, including Cleethorpes, Lincoln and Grimsby privately with professional partners. Nothing on this website is an offer or invitation to invest.
