No, the scheme is available to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners.
Can I use any lender?
Darlington Building Society are currently our nominated lender for the Own New scheme, applicable to homes within our Durham division.
Will Own New be accessible to borrowers with over 5% deposit?
Yes, a 95% mortgage is available to anyone with a deposit of at least 5%, but less than 10%.
With Own New, is anything different to 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?
