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.

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.

The English system, as it applies in Seaford

Buying a new-build home in Seaford follows the usual English process: an offer, conveyancing, exchange of contracts, which makes the purchase binding, and completion. Many buyers arrange a snagging inspection to find defects. New homes are usually covered by a structural warranty, and developers registered under the New Homes Quality Code give buyers access to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. We have no homes on sale yet, so register your interest to hear about future homes.

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.

Your questions answered for Seaford

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 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.

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.

Are there new homes available in Seaford now?

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