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:  eing a resident (or employed within) B the area for a number of years (usually between 2-5) F  amily connections – for example, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild or adult sibling – who have lived in the area for at least three years. Applicants must have a local connection to Lichfield District Council.
