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.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
