Our approach in Golborne

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.

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.

Tenancy rules by nation

Modern standards

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

Rules that apply in Golborne

Buying a new-build home in Golborne 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.

Questions about New Homes to Rent in Golborne

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.

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.

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.

Are there new homes available in Golborne now?

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