Rather than traditional methods in which you would have to produce multiple utility bills and a photographic ID we use an electronic verification system. This system allows us to verify you from basic details using electronic data, however it is not a credit check of any kind so will have no effect on you or your credit history. To do so the Credit Referencing Agencies may check the details you supply against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. They may also use your details in the future to assist other companies for verification purposes. A record of the search will be retained.

A of (£24 inc VAT) per purchaser will be charged to cover the costs associated with fulfilling our obligations under the act. A link will be sent to your mobile to enable you to make the payment and thereafter the biometric check.

Local Occupancy Restriction - A Cumbria wide local occupancy clause applies.

We understand that the criteria for prospective purchasers (PP) is at least one PP, must be able to provide evidence of 'Living or Working within the County of Cumbria' for 3 years prior to purchase.

Within the Legacy Eden District Council properties, there is a 'Discretionary Consent' process. When a PP does not meet the criteria set out under S157 (3) of the Act, the Council can look at individual cases and consider a discretionary consent, whereby an individual's circumstances will be taken into account, for example, if they have relatives in the District of Westmorland and Furness, have been brought up in Cumbria, have obtained employment within Cumbria working for a Cumbrian Employer or have children attending schools in the District of Westmorland and Furness.

The Council will then take the application and connections into consideration such as the PP links with the local area in deciding whether it will grant consent. We have attached the questionnaire used to gather information for a discretionary consent application. Applications for discretionary consent are considered by Housing Senior Managers and Councillor responsible for the housing portfolio and can take up to 10 working days to go through the process.

Any prospective purchase will need to satisfy themselves that they meet the criteria and can make enquiries with the council.
