The First Homes Scheme was launched in June this year with seven lenders signing up. It offers a minimum of a 30 per cent discount on market price for first-time buyers and key workers to help them get on the property ladder.
The first homes were sold under the scheme last week to key workers, including a nurse and a police worker.
According to Matt Bartle (pictured), Leeds Building Society’s products director, the mutual said that it was the first lender to receive a mortgage application under the scheme and were pleased to introduce these products for this specific customer group.
He said: “First time buyers are the lifeblood of the housing market so it’s great to see First Homes already delivering on its objective to help more people to step onto the property ladder.
“As a supporter of affordable housing purchasers, including through Shared Ownership and Help to Buy, we welcome innovation in this sector.”
Bartle added: “As new schemes become established, we listen closely to feedback from customers and our intermediary partners so we can create more products to help people to have the home they want.”
