First Homes are a form of affordable housing, sold to first-time buyers at a discount of at least 30 percent against market value. The percentage discount remains attached to the property in perpetuity, so that future first-time buyers can also benefit from the scheme. Local authorities can choose to set the discount at 40% or 50% instead of 30%.
