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.

How the rules work in Larne

Social homes in Larne are allocated through the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's Housing Selection Scheme and provided by the Housing Executive and housing associations. Private renters are protected by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, which lengthened notice-to-quit periods. Buyers pay Stamp Duty Land Tax and register title with Land & Property Services. Land to Homes plans homes for sale and rent in Northern Ireland; register interest to hear more.

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.

Common questions in Larne

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.

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.

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.

Can I register for new homes in Larne?

Yes. Registering for Larne is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Larne, we will contact you.
