Planning in Coleraine: the Northern Irish rules
Social homes in Coleraine 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 Coleraine
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I register for new homes in Coleraine?
Yes. Registering for Coleraine is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Coleraine, we will contact you.
