Affordable Housing allows first time buyers to purchase a property through the County Council for a significantly lower cost than buying privately. An affordable home is a home that is sold at cost price rather than market value.
Applicants must meet the following general criteria:
- First Time Buyers. Certain exceptions apply e.g. if legally separated or divorced
- In full-time permanent employment for at least 6 months prior to making an application
- Meet the specified income limit.
