Planning in Caterham: the English rules
If you rent privately in Caterham, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 now shapes your tenancy: most tenancies run from one rent period to the next, rent can usually only be raised once a year through a formal process, and no-fault evictions have ended. Affordable options in England include Social Rent, Affordable Rent at up to 80% of market rent, and shared ownership. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent, and you can register interest now.
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.

New Homes to Rent in Caterham: questions
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.
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.
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.
