How do I qualify for a property?

You must prove that you require the discount on the property in

order for you to afford to buy the home, and you must have a

local connection to the Parish, Ward or Carlisle District. The

qualifying criteria and locality are set out in the Section 106

Agreement for each scheme, and includes a person who:-

• was born in the locality;

• has lived in the locality for a continuous period of at least

three years;

• has worked in the locality for a continuous period of at

least three years;

• has a family connection to the locality;

• has an offer of employment in the locality.

I don’t have an immediate local connection to the property I

want - what do I do?

The local connection often initially applies to a smaller area on

rural schemes as there is a greater shortage of affordable

housing in rural areas. If a property is not sold after a period

specified in the Section 106 Agreement, the qualifying areas are

widened, eventually to anyone with a local connection to Carlisle
