- those on lower incomes

If you're buying with others:

- you must all meet any local income criteria
- only one of you needs to meet any other local criteria
- These local criteria only apply for the first 3 months that a property is on sale.

Local exemptions for armed forces and their families

- a member of the armed forces
- a former spouse or civil partner who's divorced or separate from a member of the armed forces
