Homes with heart inbeautiful locations

    First Homes

    We are proud to offer the First Homes scheme, where you can buy a selected Vivly home at a discount of 30% off its market value, subject to availability, status, and eligibility criteria.

     
    

    The discounts will apply to the home forever, meaning that generations of new buyers will continue to benefit every time the property is sold. You will have full ownership of your home. It will be the same specification and quality as other Vivly homes, and you’ll still be able to select your own finishes and upgrades.

     
    

    Eligibility - to apply for the First Homes scheme will need to meet these criteria:

     
    

    First Homes is available to first time buyers only, aged 18 or over, so if the home is being purchased by more than one person, all must be first time buyers.

     
    

    To be eligible, your household income must not be more than £80,000 per year.

     
    

    You will need to currently live in Kirklees, Wakefield or Barnsley, or have a Local connection. For example you have lived in Kirklees for the past 3 years as primary residence, previously lived in Kirklees for at least 5 years cumulatively within the past 10 years, have close family and that have lived in Kirklees for 3 years, need to move to Kirklees to provide care support to somebody in the Kirklees area, are employed full time on a permanent basis for more than 16 hours per week in Kirklees, or about to take up an offer of a permanent full time employment in Kirklees.

     
    

    You are an armed service member who is in, or were in, the armed forces within 5 years. This includes divorced or separated spouses or civil partners of deceased members, or a former member whose death was caused wholly or partly by their service. Armed forces are exempt from the local connection criteria.

     
    

    The First Homes scheme was created to help people who would otherwise find it difficult to get onto the property ladder. Due to this, buyers must get a mortgage that covers at least 50% of the cost of the First Home after the discount has been applied.

     
    

    You will need a deposit of at least 5% of the discounted purchase price.

     
    

    A property purchased using First Homes should be your only home.
