Own New – Rate Reducer is a brand new scheme exclusively for New Build homes, bringing lower mortgage rates to buyers!
Dere Street Homes have partnered with Own New to bring you a simpler, hassle-free way to get an affordable mortgage on a new build property.
You get a normal mortgage at some of the most competitive interest rates on the market and own 100% of your home. You pay a lower monthly payment and the interest on your capital is less, so you are paying off more of your original loan each month!
You can:
- Own 100% of your home
- be Employed or self-employed
- be First Time buyers or existing Home Owners
How it works:
- We could contribute between 3% & 5% of the purchase price of the new home as your ‘Incentive’
- The contribution goes to your mortgage lender (through the 3rd party Own New)
- The lender then uses this contribution to reduce the available mortgage rates
- Monthly Mortgage payments are then reduced for the initial period of the mortgage – either 2 or 5 years.
How to buy with OWN NEW:
- Choose one of our beautiful new homes
- Discuss your mortgage with our approved, independent Own New mortgage broker
- They’ll help you to see if Own New’s Rate Reducer is right for you
- You go through the normal Mortgage Application and home buying process with the usual approvals
- When you complete you own 100% of your new home with a normal mortgage and lower payments for the initial period or two or five years
