First Homes Cardiff: Helping First Time Buyers

Cardiff Council's assisted home ownership scheme, helping first time buyers in the city get onto the property ladder, has been relaunched as First Homes Cardiff.

First Homes Cardiff aims to help first time buyers living or working in the city who find themselves unable to afford their first home, by offering new build properties for sale on a shared equity basis on developments across the city.

As well as a new name for the scheme, eligibility criteria for the First Homes Cardiff has also been expanded to allow more people to potentially benefit.

Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, Cllr Lynda Thorne, said: "Since the assisted home ownership scheme was launched about 18 years ago, we've helped around 600 applicants to purchase a property. That's 600 households who otherwise would not have been able to afford to buy a property on the open market, who have become homeowners.

"Now, as we relaunch the scheme as First Homes Cardiff, we want to ensure that more people, who can't afford the type of deposit normally needed to buy a home, but who can afford the ongoing commitment of a mortgage, have that opportunity too."
