Moving home in Wales

Plan a Welsh move with guidance on LTT, occupation contracts and practical tasks.

For a move in Wales, distinguish the general moving work from the Welsh rules affecting the property. Buying uses Land Transaction Tax, while renting within the Renting Homes framework uses occupation contracts and contract-holder terminology.

Wales-specific checks

Start with the Welsh LTT overview, tenant FAQs and letting-fee guidance. Do not import England's rental reforms or first-time-buyer tax assumptions into a Welsh plan.

Read the guides below and confirm the actual agreement, professional instructions and handover dates. Keep Council Tax, utilities and moving costs in your budget, checking departure separately if you are arriving from another UK nation.
