PLUMLIFE, the government appointed HomeBuy Agency for Greater Manchester, Lancashire and South Yorkshire, will be responsible for delivering around 10% of the coalition government's new FirstBuy allocation.
FirstBuy is the brand new low cost home ownership scheme aimed at helping working people get a foot on the housing ladder. Similar to the last government’s popular HomeBuy Direct initiative, it offers eligible buyers a 20% equity loan, funded jointly by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and house builders. The buyer needs only to come up with a 5% deposit.
Around 124 house builders nation-wide bid for FirstBuy funds, with developments in the north west and South Yorkshire HomeBuy areas in which Plumlife operates scooping a sizeable chunk of the funding. The allocation constitutes a total of 157 sites across 33 local authority areas.
