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 Solihull Borough Council .
