Dms - What is Discount Market Sale?
Discount Market Sale (DMS) are homes that, if you are eligible, you can buy at a percentage discount on the open market price. The discount you get depends on the legal agreement made with the Developer and the Council and can be up to 50% of the price. The percentage discount that you receive would be passed on to all future owners of the home.
For example you could see a home that is worth £100,000 with a 20% discount. You would buy this for £80,000. When you come to sell it could now be worth £125,000 and you could sell for a maximum of £100,000.
Who can apply?
Anyone can make an application to check their eligibility to buy a DMS to the council. Only the council can confirm that you are eligible, however sales teams and estate agents may advise you that you would be unsuccessful depending on your circumstances. The eligibility requirements for each site will differ, however broadly you would need to meet the following criteria;
•As a household have an income of less than £80,000 per year
•Be legally allowed to own a property in the UK
•Have a local connection to the area through residency, employment or caring responsibilities
•Not own another property at point of purchase (either in the UK or abroad)
•Be buying the house to live in it.
