How the rules work in Motherwell
Buying a home in Motherwell works differently in Scotland. Offers are made through a solicitor, and the purchase becomes binding when missives are concluded. Most resale homes come with a Home Report, but a brand-new home sold to its first occupier is exempt, although the seller must still provide an Energy Performance Certificate. Buyers pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax. Land to Homes has no homes for sale yet; register interest to hear about future plans.
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.

Questions about New-Build Homes for Sale in Motherwell
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.
Are there new homes available in Motherwell now?
Not yet. Land to Homes has no homes available in Motherwell at the moment. You can register your interest for Motherwell, and we will contact you if we bring homes forward there or nearby.
