Why work with Land to Homes in Plymouth

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.

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.

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.

Modern standards

New homes are built to the current building regulations or building standards of their nation for energy efficiency, insulation and safety.

Planning in Plymouth: the English rules

Buying a new-build home in Plymouth 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.

Common questions in Plymouth

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.

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.

What kind of tenancy would I get in England?

Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, most new private tenancies in England are assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date, and section 21 'no fault' evictions have ended. Landlords must rely on specified grounds to seek possession. Social housing tenancies follow different rules. For advice on your own circumstances, speak to an independent housing adviser.

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.

Are there new homes available in Plymouth now?

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