Planning in Merthyr Tydfil: the Welsh rules
New-build buyers in Merthyr Tydfil usually receive a structural warranty, and many arrange a snagging check before completion. In Wales, contracts are exchanged and completed as in England, titles are registered with HM Land Registry, and Land Transaction Tax is paid to the Welsh Revenue Authority. If you rent instead, your landlord must give you a written statement of your occupation contract. We have no homes available yet, but 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.

Questions about New-Build Homes for Sale in Merthyr Tydfil
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 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 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.
