How it works
You can look for new homes in your area that are advertised by developers as part of the First Homes scheme.
Developers offer these homes to first-time buyers with 30% to 50% of the market value taken off the price.
Every home that’s sold is valued by an independent surveyor to make sure the discount is based on actual market value.
The homes cannot cost more than £420,000 in London, or £250,000 anywhere else in England, after the discount has been applied.
You can only sell the home to someone who is eligible to buy a First Home. You must give them the same percentage discount that you got, based on the home’s market value at the time of sale.
