*** DEFINITION OF DISCOUNTED MARKET SALE
Discounted market sales (DMS) is a low cost home ownership product where a new build property is purchased at a discounted price directly from the developer. The discount is usually around 20%, and the scheme is to help low and middle income earners get onto the property ladder. The discount is written into a covenant on the property and will remain in perpetuity through all subsequent sales. Unlike shared ownership, you do not have to pay rent on the remaining share of the property, as there is no remaining share.
A purchaser buys the percentage of the property available after the discount (80%) and when the property is sold, it has to be sold at the same percentage of the market value at the time of sale.
Applicants will need a mortgage and/or savings to cover the discounted price of the property. For example, if the property has an open market value of £100,000 then the discounted price is £80,000. The remaining 20% is held in perpetuity by North Lincolnshire Council.
