Our approach in Lisburn

Affordable and social rent explained

Homes for affordable or social rent are let through councils and housing associations, which set eligibility and run their own lists.

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.

Signposting to advice

We cannot advise on individual tenancy problems, but we can point you to independent housing advice services in your nation.

Clear information first

Before any home is offered, expect the rent, the tenancy type, the deposit arrangements and what is included to be set out in writing.

The Northern Irish system, as it applies in Lisburn

Renting in Lisburn? Private tenancies in Northern Ireland are governed by the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, strengthened by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, which brought in longer notice-to-quit periods and limits on deposits. Buyers sign and exchange contracts through a solicitor, then complete, and pay Stamp Duty Land Tax as in England. New homes usually carry a structural warranty. Land to Homes has no homes available yet; register interest.

In Northern Ireland, private tenancies are governed by the Private Tenancies Order as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022, which lengthened notice to quit periods and tightened deposit rules. Private landlords must register with the Landlord Registration Scheme. Social homes are allocated through the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's common waiting list.

Your questions answered for Lisburn

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.

Does Land to Homes have any homes to rent?

No, not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes available to rent. We do not take rental applications, holding deposits or fees at this stage. You can register interest with the area, type of home and timing you need, and we will contact you if we bring forward rental homes that match.

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.

What is build to rent?

Build to rent means homes designed and built specifically for renting, usually owned by one landlord and professionally managed as a whole development. Schemes often include on-site management and shared spaces. Land to Homes talks to institutional partners about build to rent, but we have no build to rent homes available at present.

Are there new homes available in Lisburn now?

Not yet. Land to Homes has no homes available in Lisburn at the moment. You can register your interest for Lisburn, and we will contact you if we bring homes forward there or nearby.
