Deposit Unlock Scheme Explained
At Hopkins Homes, we understand that one of the most significant challenges facing many aspiring homeowners today is the ability to save for a substantial deposit.
With the ambition to make your dream home a reality, we are proud to introduce the Deposit Unlock scheme. This innovative initiative is designed to help you secure your new build home with a much smaller deposit than what is traditionally required.
Understanding the Deposit Unlock Scheme
The Deposit Unlock scheme is a groundbreaking mortgage lending initiative that enables buyers to purchase a new build home with a deposit as low as 5% of the property’s value.
Traditionally, securing a mortgage for a new home might require a deposit of 10-20%, a significant barrier for many. The Deposit Unlock scheme aims to lower this barrier, making homeownership more accessible and affordable.
How Does Deposit Unlock Work?
Created through a collaboration between leading homebuilders, including Hopkins Homes, and mortgage lenders, the scheme offers a unique solution.
The scheme offers participating mortgage lenders protection on their mortgages, so that they can offer more favourable terms to buyers, including 95% loan-to-value mortgages. As a result, your dream of owning a Hopkins home becomes more attainable, with a significantly reduced initial financial burden.
Benefits of the Deposit Unlock Scheme
The Deposit Unlock scheme comes with several key benefits designed to ease the path to homeownership:
- Lower Deposit Requirement: The most evident advantage is the reduction in the upfront cost required to secure a mortgage. With only a 5% deposit needed, saving for your new home becomes a more achievable goal.
- Increased Accessibility: By lowering the deposit threshold, the scheme opens up the housing market to a broader audience, including first-time buyers and those who may have previously considered homeownership out of reach.
- Flexibility and Choice: With Hopkins Homes, you’ll have access to a wide range of properties eligible under the Deposit Unlock scheme. This flexibility ensures that you can find a home that not only fits your budget but also your lifestyle and preferences.
- Security and Peace of Mind: Knowing that your mortgage is backed by a reputable scheme can provide a sense of security. You can proceed with your purchase, confident that you’re supported by a structure designed to facilitate homeownership.
