Deposit Boost: we could increase your deposit by 5%

Deposit Boost infographic

What is Deposit Boost?

If you have a 5% deposit, we could boost it by funding up to an additional 5% of the sale price, giving you 10% deposit in total.

This means you need to borrow less from a lender and could even secure a more competitive mortgage rate.

Once you’ve found a home you’re interested in, you should speak to the Sales Adviser from the development to see if you could take advantage of Deposit Boost.

The Sales Adviser can also introduce you to a New Homes Mortgage Adviser who can provide individually-tailored advice and help secure the best mortgage for your own circumstances.
