Our approach in Tonypandy
Tenancy rules by nation
Tenancies differ across the UK. We explain the general position in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so you know what to expect.
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.
Signposting to advice
We cannot advise on individual tenancy problems, but we can point you to independent housing advice services in your nation.
Planning and land rules in Tonypandy
New-build buyers in Tonypandy usually receive a structural warranty, and many arrange a snagging check before completion. In Wales, contracts are exchanged and completed as in England, titles are registered with HM Land Registry, and Land Transaction Tax is paid to the Welsh Revenue Authority. If you rent instead, your landlord must give you a written statement of your occupation contract. We have no homes available yet, but you can register interest.
In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 means tenants are contract-holders with written occupation contracts: standard contracts for most private lets and secure contracts for most council and housing association homes. Private landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets must also be licensed. Homes must be fit for human habitation.

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