Planning and land rules in Lurgan
Buying a new-build home in Lurgan follows Northern Ireland's conveyancing process: your solicitor checks the title and contract, the purchase becomes binding once contracts are exchanged, and completion follows. Stamp Duty Land Tax applies where it is due. Many buyers arrange a snagging inspection and confirm the structural warranty before completing. Co-Ownership offers shared ownership to eligible buyers. We have no homes for sale yet, but you can register your 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.

Questions about New Homes to Rent in Lurgan
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 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.
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.
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.
Can I register for new homes in Lurgan?
Yes. Registering for Lurgan is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Lurgan, we will contact you.
