First Homes Scheme

The First Homes Scheme is a government initiative that helps first-time buyers in the UK purchase their own home. At Property Link Homes, we understand the challenges faced by first-time buyers and are proud to be a part of this scheme to make homeownership more affordable and accessible.

What is the First Homes Scheme?

The First Homes Scheme is a government initiative that provides discounted homes for first-time buyers in the UK. These homes are sold at a discount of at least 30% compared to their market value and are reserved for those who meet the eligibility criteria.

The scheme aims to help first-time buyers get onto the property ladder and make homeownership more affordable and accessible for those who might otherwise struggle to afford it.

We can guide you through the entire process, from applying for the First Homes Scheme to securing a mortgage that meets your needs. Our mortgage advisors can help you determine your eligibility for the scheme and provide advice and support as needed.

Discounts of at least 30% on the market value of the property

Priority access to these discounted homes for first-time buyers

The option to sell the property in the future, with the discount passed on to the next first-time buyer

The Process of the First Homes Scheme

The process of the First Homes Scheme can be complex, but at Property Link Homes, we make it as simple as possible. First, you'll need to check your eligibility for the scheme and apply for it through your local authority.
