Planning in Guildford: the English rules

Buying a new-build home in Guildford follows the usual English process: an offer, conveyancing, exchange of contracts, which makes the purchase binding, and completion. Many buyers arrange a snagging inspection to find defects. New homes are usually covered by a structural warranty, and developers registered under the New Homes Quality Code give buyers access to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. We have no homes on sale yet, so register your interest to hear about future homes.

In England, buyers usually pay Stamp Duty Land Tax and the purchase is registered with HM Land Registry. Many developers register with the New Homes Quality Board and follow its code. New homes must meet the Building Regulations, and estates often carry management charges where roads or open space are not adopted, so check these before reserving.

New-Build Homes for Sale in Guildford: questions

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.

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.

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.

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 register for new homes in Guildford?

Yes. Registering for Guildford is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Guildford, we will contact you.
