Submit a First Homes scheme application

You can only submit a First Homes application to us if you are:

• a developer that is selling a First Homes scheme property to a first-time buyer
• an estate agent that is working with both a current First Homes property owner and a new first-time buyer

If you are a first-time buyer who wants to purchase a home you will need contact the developer (or estate agent if you're buying from a previous First Homes buyer) and tell them you want to buy a First Home. They will send your application onto us.
