The Northern Irish system, as it applies in Bangor (County Down)
Renting in Bangor (County Down)? 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.

Questions about New Homes to Rent in Bangor (County Down)
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.
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.
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.
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.
