First Homes scheme

Your first home – with at least 30% off the market price. The Government-backed First Homes scheme could help you buy a brand-new Taylor Wimpey home for less.

Make your first home more affordable with 30-50% off the market price

We’re here to help you take that exciting first step on your homebuying journey. With a generous discount on selected new homes, owning a place you love could be closer than you think.

Exclusively available on selected new homes in England, up to a maximum price of £250,000 (after discount has been applied). In Greater London, the maximum price is £420,000 (after discount has been applied). Local authorities may set a lower price cap.

Available to first-time buyers across England

Wherever you choose to make your home, this scheme helps open more opportunities for your first move. It’s designed to support first-time buyers in communities throughout England.

Supporting local people and key workers to move forward

Whether you work locally or help support your community every day, we want to make it easier for you to own a home in the place you care about. This scheme is designed with you in mind.

Affordable now and for the future

Your discount doesn’t stop at the purchase. When you decide to move on, the same percentage discount is passed on to the next buyer, helping keep your home affordable for someone else starting their journey.
