How the rules work in Cwmbran
Renting in Cwmbran? Since December 2022, Welsh tenancies have been occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and tenants are called contract-holders. Most private renters hold a standard occupation contract, and the notice period for no-fault possession was extended from two months to six. Buyers exchange and complete as in England but pay Land Transaction Tax, not Stamp Duty. Land to Homes has no homes available yet; you can register interest.
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.

Common questions in Cwmbran
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 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 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.
