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 specifically to help meet the
needs 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
who have a connection to
Cherwell District Council.
