Affordable housing - discount market sale scheme customer information guide

To purchase a Discount Market Sale or First Homes property, you must meet the eligibility criteria. Discount Market Sale and First Homes properties can be sold either directly from the House Builder, a Registered Provider, or an Estate Agent. Enquiries should be made through the House Builder, Registered Provider, or Estate Agent who are marketing the property. If you are considering purchasing a new build Discount Market Sale or First Homes property, the House Builder's sales office will advise you if the eligibility criteria applies to the sale as this is dictated by the length of time the property has been marketed for sale. If you are considering purchasing a re-sale Discount Market Sale or First Homes property, the eligibility criteria is applicable during the 12 week notice period which commences at the point the maximum sale value is agreed by the Strategic Housing Team. If you have any questions about eligibility, please email strategichousing@stockton.gov.uk. 

There are several new build developments in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. You should contact the House Builder, Registered Provider or Estate Agent through the sales office on site, website enquiries with the respective provider, or by contacting any of these parties directly by telephone to discuss which properties are available as part of the Discount Market Sale and First Homes Scheme.

Sales of existing homes will be made by the current owner who may choose an Estate Agent to market the property on their behalf.
