Why work with Land to Homes in Peterborough
Tenancy rules by nation
Tenancies differ across the UK. We explain the general position in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so you know what to expect.
Modern standards
New homes are built to the current building regulations or building standards of their nation for energy efficiency, insulation and safety.
Private rent and build to rent
Homes for private rent may be let by us or by an institutional build to rent partner, depending on how a site is funded and managed.
No homes to let yet
Land to Homes is a new business and has no rented homes available. We will contact you if suitable homes are brought forward in your area.
How the rules work in Peterborough
Buying a new-build home in Peterborough follows the usual English process: an offer, conveyancing, exchange of contracts, which makes the purchase binding, and completion. Many buyers arrange a snagging inspection to find defects. New homes are usually covered by a structural warranty, and developers registered under the New Homes Quality Code give buyers access to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. We have no homes on sale yet, so register your interest to hear about future homes.
In England, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 has replaced assured shorthold tenancies with assured periodic tenancies for most private lets, ending section 21 'no fault' evictions. Deposits must be protected in a government-approved scheme. Social and affordable rent homes are let by councils and registered providers, which are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing.

New Homes to Rent in Peterborough: questions
How are tenancies different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
In Wales, tenants are contract-holders under occupation contracts set by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Most private tenancies in Scotland are open-ended private residential tenancies. In Northern Ireland, private tenancies are governed by the Private Tenancies Order, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022. Each nation has its own rules on deposits, notice and landlord registration.
How do I register interest in renting a new home?
Give us your contact details, the areas you are interested in, the type and size of home you need and roughly when you want to move. We use that to contact you about relevant homes and to understand rental demand when we plan sites. It is free, it is not an application and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.
Will my deposit be protected?
In most cases, yes. Each nation requires private landlords to protect tenancy deposits in an approved scheme within a set period and to give tenants information about the scheme. The detailed rules differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If homes we bring forward are let privately, deposits will be handled under the rules that apply.
Can I apply to you for a social or affordable rent home?
No. Social and affordable rent homes are let through council housing registers and housing association lists, which set the eligibility rules and decide who is offered a home. If a site we bring forward includes affordable homes, they will be let through the relevant council or housing association. Contact your local council's housing team to join a list.
Can I register for new homes in Peterborough?
Yes. Registering for Peterborough is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Peterborough, we will contact you.
