Are current home owners eligible?

Owner-occupiers, including existing shared owners and keyworkers, are as standard not eligible for assistance through Homes and Communities Agency funded products. If a potential purchaser who owns a property wishes to access low cost home ownership they must demonstrate that they are in housing need and have Local Authority support or have sold their property prior to applying.
