co.uk (don’t worry if you have already done
this, simply skip this step) Make a note of
your help to buy reference number, you
will need it later. It normally takes around 4
working days for this number to be supplied. As part of the application process you
are required to carry out an affordability
assessment and provide documents to
support the application, TMP Mortgages will
carry out this initial assessment.
Step 2 - Check your local area
connection
You’ll notice that on most of our property
listings we say that a local connection to the
area is needed. This is because the homes
for sale in these areas have been built
specifi cally to help meet the needs of of
local people who can’t afford to get on the
housing ladder any other way.
The local area connection criteria varies
between sites, but generally it’s based on:
• Being a resident (or employed within)
the area for a number of years (usually
between 2-5)
• Family connections – for example,
parent, grandparent, child, grandchild or
adult sibling – who have lived in the area
for at least three years.
Priority will be given to applicants in South
Gloucestershire, however no local area
connection is required.
