New-Build Homes for Sale: how it works
Land to Homes is a new venture. We buy and promote land, plan and build new homes, and intend to offer homes for sale as sites come forward. Right now there are no homes, developments or plots for sale, and we do not take reservations or deposits. Registering interest is the only step available, and it is free and without obligation. Tell us where you want to live, the type and size of home you need and your rough timing, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. Registering also shapes our plans, because knowing what buyers want helps decide the mix of homes on a site. Whoever you buy a new home from, expect clear information before you commit, including the specification, the tenure, the warranty, any service or estate charges, and how complaints are handled.

What you get with Land to Homes
Register interest for free
Tell us your preferred area, budget range, type of home and timing. Registering is free, commits you to nothing and you can ask to be removed at any time.
No homes for sale yet
Land to Homes is a new business. We have no developments, listings or reservations open, and we will not ask you for a deposit to register interest.
Your preferences shape our plans
Knowing what buyers want in an area helps us decide the mix of homes, from smaller starter homes to larger family houses, when we plan a site.
Information before you commit
Before any home is reserved, buyers should receive the specification, tenure, warranty details and any service or estate charges in writing.
New-build warranties explained
Most mortgage lenders expect a new home to carry a recognised structural warranty. We explain what warranties cover, and what they do not, in plain terms.
Consumer protection explained
We explain the New Homes Quality Code and the New Homes Ombudsman Service in neutral terms, so you know what protections to look for when buying any new home.
Affordable routes signposted
If you need shared ownership or another affordable route, we explain how eligibility works. It is set by councils and housing providers, not by us.
Rules for each nation
Buying is different in each nation, from missives in Scotland to Land Transaction Tax in Wales. We point you to the rules that apply where you want to live.
What happens next
Register interest
Tell us the area, type of home, budget range and timing that suit you. It is free and is not a reservation.
We keep you informed
If we bring forward homes in your chosen area, we contact you with early information about the site and the homes planned.
Information before reserving
Before any home is reserved, buyers receive the specification, tenure, warranty and charges in writing, so they can compare it with other new homes.
Reservation and legal work
If you decide to go ahead, you reserve the home, instruct your own solicitor and arrange a mortgage if you need one.
Completion and handover
Once the home is built and signed off, the purchase completes, you receive your keys and any snagging is dealt with under the terms of sale.
How it differs across the UK
ENGEngland
In England, buyers usually pay Stamp Duty Land Tax and the purchase is registered with HM Land Registry. Many developers register with the New Homes Quality Board and follow its code. New homes must meet the Building Regulations, and estates often carry management charges where roads or open space are not adopted, so check these before reserving.
WLSWales
In Wales, Land Transaction Tax replaces Stamp Duty Land Tax and title is registered with HM Land Registry. The New Homes Quality Board framework covers Wales, and the Welsh Building Regulations, including their energy standards, differ from England's. Most new estates also need approved sustainable drainage, which can affect management arrangements and charges.
SCTScotland
In Scotland, purchases are concluded through missives, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax applies, and title is registered with Registers of Scotland. A Home Report is not needed on the first sale of a new home. New homes need a building warrant and an accepted completion certificate, and the New Homes Quality Board framework covers Scotland.
NIRNorthern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, Stamp Duty Land Tax applies and title is registered with Land & Property Services. Shared ownership is offered mainly through Co-Ownership, a not-for-profit housing association. The New Homes Quality Board framework is focused on England, Scotland and Wales, so buyers should check the warranty and complaints arrangements a developer offers.
Frequently asked questions
Does Land to Homes have any new homes for sale?
Not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes, developments or plots for sale or reservation at the moment. You can register interest with the area and type of home you want, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. We never ask for a deposit to register interest.
How does registering interest work?
You give us your contact details, the areas you are interested in, the type and size of home you need and your rough timing. We use that to contact you about relevant new homes and to understand demand when we plan sites. It is free, it is not a reservation and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.
What is a new-build warranty?
It is an insurance-backed policy covering certain defects in a newly built home for a set period after completion. Typically the builder must put right most defects in the early part of the cover, and the warranty provider covers major structural problems later. Most mortgage lenders require a recognised warranty or a professional consultant's certificate before lending on a new home.
What is the New Homes Quality Code?
The New Homes Quality Code is a code of practice set by the New Homes Quality Board, an independent body. Developers who register with the board agree to follow it, covering marketing, reservations, handover and after-sales service, and their buyers can usually take unresolved complaints to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. The framework currently covers England, Scotland and Wales.
What does the New Homes Ombudsman Service do?
It handles complaints from buyers of new homes built by developers registered with the New Homes Quality Board, once the developer's own complaints process has been used. It can direct a registered developer to put things right. Buyers should check whether a developer is registered before reserving, because the service only covers registered developers.
Can I buy a new home through shared ownership?
Shared ownership and other affordable home ownership routes are usually provided by housing associations and other registered providers, sometimes on homes built by developers. Eligibility and the share you can buy are set by the provider and the scheme rules, not by us. If affordable homes form part of a site we bring forward, we will tell you who to contact.
What should I check before reserving a new-build home?
Check the specification and what is included, the tenure and any lease terms, estate or service charges for roads and open space, the warranty and who provides it, and the reservation terms. Ask whether the developer is registered with the New Homes Quality Board. Instruct your own solicitor early, and visit the site if you can.
Is buying a new home different in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?
Yes. In Scotland the purchase is concluded through missives exchanged between solicitors, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax applies, and a Home Report is not needed for the first sale of a newly built home. Wales has Land Transaction Tax, while England and Northern Ireland use Stamp Duty Land Tax. A solicitor in the relevant nation can explain the detail.
