Abstract: Let $G$ be a group and $mathcalF$ be a family of subgroups closed under conjugation and subgroups. A model for the classifying space $E_{mathcalF}G$ is a $G$-CW-complex $X$ such that every isotropy group belongs to $mathcalF$, and for all $HinmathcalF$ the fixed point subspace $X^H$ is contractible. The group $G$ is of type $mathcalFext-mathrm{F}_n$ if it admits a model for $E_{m}athcalFG$ with $n$-skeleton with compact orbit space. The main result of the article provides is a characterization of $mathcalFext-mathrm{F}_n$ analogue to Brown's criterion for $mathrm{FP}_n$. As applications we provide criteria for this type of finiteness properties with respect to families to be preserved by finite extensions, a result that contrast with examples of Leary and Nucinkis. We also recover L"uck's characterization of property $underline{mathrmF}_n$ in terms of the finiteness properties of the Weyl groups.
