DISCOUNT FOR SALE.... WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
The discount for sale (DFS) scheme is designed to help people, who could not otherwise afford to get onto the housing ladder.
AM I ELIGIBLE?
The scheme is open to those who unable, for financial reasons, to buy outright. Typically this means first time buyers or those re-entering the housing market following a relationship breakdown.
You will need to complete an application form so that we can assess whether or not you are eligible to buy on the scheme.
WHAT IF I AM SUCCESSFUL?
A qualifying purchaser is offered to buy a property at a fixed percentage of market value. The percentage varies from property to property, however, unlike conventional New Build HomeBuy (shared ownership) no rent is payable on the balance of value and the buyer owns the freehold of the property*.
(* subject to terms and conditions).
WHAT ARE THE INITIAL COSTS OF BUYING A HOME?
You will have to pay for:
MORTGAGE VALULATION and any other lenders' fees.
LEGAL FEES - you will require a solicitor or conveyancer to help you with you with buying your share. Here at Blue Residential we can obtain relevant quotes for you.
DEPOSIT and REMOVAL COSTS where necessary.
OWNING A DFS PROPERTY
Owning a DFS property comes with the same rights and responsibilities as owning a property on the open market. You will be responsible for all repairs and maintenance and for payments such as: Mortgage repayments, rent, repairs insurance and service charges, council tax, utility bills, fittings and furniture.
WHAT IF I WANT TO SELL?
In future if you decide to move on you will be obliged to sell at the same percentage of open market value at which you purchased. This means that the property is still "affordable" to another person entering the housing market at that time.
QUALIFYING CRITERIA
* Prospective buyers may be required to register and be initially assessed by their Local Homebuy Agent (LHBA). This is the Government's affordable Housing Agency who ensure all applicants meet the general affordable housing criteria.
* Applicants need to be deemed in need of affordable housing, ie they can't afford to buy on the open market in that area. There is a maximum household income cap of £80,000.
* Applicants cannot own another property at the time of buying. (If any prospective purchasers are currently going through a relationship breakdown, applications are considered).
* The property must be your sole residence and not subject to a tenancy.
