How the rules work in Peebles
Renting privately in Peebles? Since December 2017, almost all new private lets in Scotland are private residential tenancies, which are open-ended: a landlord can only end one on specified grounds, not because a fixed term has finished. The Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 is bringing in further rent and eviction measures. New-build buyers usually receive a structural warranty and may want a snagging survey before settlement. We have no homes available yet, but you can register interest.
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.
| Who decides applications | The council as planning authority (or a national park authority in its area) |
|---|---|
| Land transaction tax (paid by the buyer) | Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) |
| How a sale becomes binding | Land sales are concluded through missives, formal letters exchanged between solicitors that become a binding contract once concluded, followed by settlement on the date of entry and registration in the Land Register of Scotland. |
| Developer contributions | Section 75 planning obligations, with Section 69 agreements sometimes used for simple one-off payments |
New-Build Homes for Sale in Peebles: questions
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.
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.
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.
Can I register for new homes in Peebles?
Yes. Registering for Peebles is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Peebles, we will contact you.
