The Welsh system, as it applies in Colwyn Bay
Affordable homes in Colwyn Bay are mainly provided by councils and registered social landlords, often with Welsh Government Social Housing Grant, and can include social rent, intermediate rent and shared ownership. Private renters hold standard occupation contracts, and landlords must keep homes fit for human habitation. Buying a new home means paying Land Transaction Tax where it applies. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent in Wales and invites you to register interest.
In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 means tenants are contract-holders with written occupation contracts: standard contracts for most private lets and secure contracts for most council and housing association homes. Private landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets must also be licensed. Homes must be fit for human habitation.

New Homes to Rent in Colwyn Bay: questions
Are new-build rented homes more energy efficient?
Generally, yes. New homes must meet current building regulations or building standards on insulation, airtightness and heating, which are stricter than the rules many older homes were built to. That usually means a better Energy Performance Certificate rating, although running costs still depend on the home, the heating system and how it is used.
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.
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.
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.

Yes. Registering for Colwyn Bay is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Colwyn Bay, we will contact you.
