What we offer in Swansea
New-build warranties explained

Before any home is reserved, buyers should receive the specification, tenure, warranty details and any service or estate charges in writing.
Affordable routes signposted
If you need shared ownership or another affordable route, we explain how eligibility works. It is set by councils and housing providers, not by us.
Rules for each nation
Buying is different in each nation, from missives in Scotland to Land Transaction Tax in Wales. We point you to the rules that apply where you want to live.
Planning in Swansea: the Welsh rules
Renting in Swansea? 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.
| Land transaction tax (paid by the buyer) | Land Transaction Tax (LTT) |
|---|---|
| Land registration | HM Land Registry |
| How a sale becomes binding | As in England, a land sale becomes legally binding on exchange of contracts and finishes on completion, with the title registered at HM Land Registry. |
| Developer contributions | Section 106 planning obligations, plus the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) where the council has adopted it |
Common questions in Swansea
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.
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 register for new homes in Swansea?
Yes. Registering for Swansea is free and does not commit you to anything. There are no homes available yet; if we bring homes forward in or near Swansea, we will contact you.
