The Welsh system, as it applies in Brecon

Renting in Brecon? 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.

Your questions answered for Brecon

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 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.

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 Brecon now?

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