First Homes Information


What Is First Homes?
The scheme allows first time buyers to purchase new build homes at 30% less than the market price. The houses are all built to the same specification as other homes in the same development, which are not on the scheme, and you have the same ownership rights as other home owners.

There are price caps in place, and the cost of the house after the discount must be £250,000 or less in England, or £420,000 in London.

Eligibility:
Each Local Authority will decide who is eligible, and the criteria may differ, depending on where you live.

As a rough guide:
• You must be a first-time buyer
• There will be restrictions on how much you can earn. Currently, for England this must not be more than £80,000 per annum, and for London it is £90,000.
• You must be able to pay a deposit of 5%
• You will need a mortgage, and this must be for at least 50% of the value
• Priority is often given to those who live locally and to key workers
• You must use the home as your only place of residence for as long as you own it

More Information:
The discount will last forever. When you come to sell your home, it can be sold to another eligible first-time buyer, so they will receive the discount. You will not receive 100% of the market value.

Once you have your First Home, you can decorate and improve it as you wish, as long as you abide by local planning regulations. You cannot sub-let it, though you may be able to take in a lodger with the approval of the local authority and your mortgage company.

If you wish to purchase a New Home, the developer will help you find out if you meet the criteria and talk you through the process. You will need to apply to the Local Authority to receive your discount, but the developer or your mortgage company will be able to help you with this application.

The process does take a little while, and you will need to reserve your home while it goes through. You will be asked for a refundable fee to do this, but this has been set to a maximum of £500. If the Local Authority does not approve your application, this fee will be returned to you.

Due to the limitations on the maximum cost of your home, you will currently not have to pay Stamp Duty. This is calculated after the discount has been made.
