ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA 
Available to first time buyers only (if the home is being purchased by more than one person, all persons must be a first time buyer).

All buyers’ joint gross income must not exceed £90,000 per year for First Homes in Greater London.  Your joint income is the total of what all buyers earnt in the previous tax year.

Buyers may also need to meet local eligibility criteria (if any) set by the local authority, such as a lower joint gross income cap, and/or at least one buyer having a local connection or being a keyworker. A lower income cap level and/or local connection and keyworker status is as determined by the local authority.

You must be able to obtain a mortgage (or home purchase plan) for at least 50% of the discounted purchase price.

A property purchased using First Homes must be the buyers' only/main residence during ownership of the property.

The First Homes scheme will apply to the home forever (subject to limited exceptions), meaning each future buyer and the local community will continue to benefit from it every time the property is sold. This means that if you are ready to move on, you must notify the local authority and when selling your home you must apply the same discount to market value that you received on your purchase, and only sell to buyers that have been approved by the local authority as meeting the First Homes Eligibility Criteria (including any local eligibility criteria set by the local authority at that point in time). Your solicitor/conveyancer will run through this process with you.
