All buyers’ joint gross income must not exceed £90,000 per year for First Homes in Greater London.  Your joint income is the total of what all buyers earnt in the previous tax year.

Buyers may also need to meet local eligibility criteria (if any) set by the local authority, such as a lower joint gross income cap, and/or at least one buyer having a local connection or being a keyworker. A lower income cap level and/or local connection and keyworker status is as determined by the local authority.
