No, the scheme is available to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners.

Do homebuyers have to pay a fee to use the Own New Rate Reducer scheme?

No extra fee is required, a percentage fee of 0.22% of the house price is subtracted from the 5% housebuilder contribution (0.15% if the incentive is 3%) and goes directly to Own New as their arrangement fee.

Will I be able to afford my mortgage when the Own New Rate Reducer scheme ends?

Customers will be qualified by a regulated independent mortgage advisor and will be credit-scored by the lender to demonstrate enough income to support the mortgage payment at the headline rate, before any Own New Rate Reducer subsidy is applied over the fixed initial term.

Where does the homebuyer’s contribution go for Own New Rate Reducer?

Ashberry’s contribution, minus the Own New Rate Reducer fee, will go directly to your mortgage lender through Own New, allowing buyers to unlock lower interest rates for the initial period after moving.

With Own New Rate Reducer, is anything different from the normal mortgage process?

There is one small and simple addition to the normal process. A “Letter of Acknowledgement” must be sent from the developer to the buyer and broker, to be passed to the lender, before a mortgage offer can be made. Our sales advisor can arrange this for you.

Are there any legal restrictions with Own New Rate Reducer?

The Own New Rate Reducer scheme is available on new homes, subject to terms and conditions, with a minimum of 5% deposit required. Please contact our sales advisors for any further information.

Who is it my mortgage will be with if I use Own New Rate Reducer?
