First Homes Opportunity Expands Across Malvern Hills District

Discounted New Build Homes in Martley Now Available to First-Time Buyers Across the District

There is exciting news for first-time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder in Worcestershire.

Following an initial marketing period reserved for residents of Martley and the surrounding parishes, two highly sought-after First Homes Scheme properties at Martley Fields are now opening up applications to eligible first-time buyers across the wider Malvern Hills District.

With homes available at just 70% of their market value, opportunities like this are incredibly rare and offer a genuine route into home ownership for local people who may otherwise struggle to purchase a new build home.

Two Exceptional New Build Homes Available

Located within the attractive Lioncourt Homes, Martley Fields development, both properties offer modern, energy-efficient living and have been thoughtfully designed with first-time buyers in mind.

Both homes provide an excellent opportunity to purchase a brand-new property at a significantly reduced price through the Government-backed First Homes Scheme.

What Is the First Homes Scheme?

The First Homes Scheme has been created to help local first-time buyers purchase homes at a discount of at least 30% below market value.

These properties are being offered at £220,500, representing exceptional value compared with comparable new build homes available on the open market.

Who Can Apply?

Applications are now being welcomed from eligible first-time buyers with a local connection to the Malvern Hills District.

This includes the following areas:

• Alfrick

• Leigh & Rushwick
• Baldwin
• Barnards Green
• Broadheath
• Castlemorton,
• Welland & Wells
• Chase
• Great Malvern
• Hallow & Holt
• Kempsey
• Lindridge Link
• Longdon
• Martley
• Pickersleigh
• Powick & the Hanleys
• Tenbury
• Upper Howsell
• Upton & Ripple

To qualify, applicants must:

• Be aged 18 or over
• Be a first-time buyer
• Have a combined household income of no more than £80,000 per year
• Secure a mortgage for at least 50% of the discounted purchase price

Priority will continue to be given to applicants who can demonstrate a local connection to the Malvern Hills District through residency, employment, family connections, or other qualifying circumstances.

National Release From 26th June

For those considering applying, time is of the essence.

If suitable purchasers are not secured beforehand, these homes will be released to eligible first-time buyers nationally from 26th June, significantly increasing competition for these properties.

This creates a valuable window of opportunity for local buyers within the Malvern Hills District to secure a discounted new build home before applications are opened more widely.
