Buying a home is easier with Own New Deposit Drop

Following the end of the Help to Buy scheme, the Own New Deposit Drop scheme* allows you to own 100% of your new home with as little as a 5% deposit, whether you are a first-time buyer or looking to buy again.

  • You are self-employed
  • You have multiple sources of income
  • You have previously been furloughed
  • You don’t yet have a credit rating

More information about Own New Deposit Drop

Where do I start?
A.

Browse our website for your ideal Bellway Durham home and speak with one of our friendly sales advisors. You can apply for a normal mortgage through the lender’s usual process, with no additional cost to you.

Do I have to be a first-time buyer?
A.

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

Can I use any lender?
A.

Darlington Building Society are currently our nominated lender for the Own New scheme, applicable to homes within our Durham division.

Will Own New Deposit Drop be accessible to borrowers with over 5% deposit?
A.

Yes, a 95% mortgage is available to anyone with a deposit of at least 5%, but less than 10%.

With Own New Deposit Drop, is anything different to the normal mortgage process?
A.

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?
A.

The Own New Deposit Drop 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.
