Yes, some lenders accept deposits as low as 5% for new build homes, especially if you’re a first time buyer or using a scheme.
It depends on the property and your financial situation.
Our mortgage advisor in Derby can help find lenders offering low-deposit options.
Lenders often apply stricter criteria to new build homes, especially for flats or off-plan properties.
You might need a bigger deposit or face shorter deadlines for your mortgage offer.
With the right mortgage advice in Derby, it can be more straightforward than expected.
Most mortgage offers for new build homes last between three and six months.
Since build delays are common, it helps to work with a mortgage broker in Derby like ourselves who can find lenders willing to extend your offer if needed.
This keeps everything on track with the developer’s schedule.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.

Excellent Customer Service from initially Dan who arranged our Lifetime Mortgage. The members of the Admin Team were always friendly and helpful. Special mention to Kerry Bewell for her willingness, post-completion, to help when needed. I would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to others.

We used money man to help us find a mortgage for our first house nearly 7 years ago. They were brilliant at helping us navigate as self employed people. We are just about to use them for our next house!

Ami has been great. She explained everything clearly and answered all of our questions (silly or not). Communication was great, genuinely couldn't recommend this service or our advisor Ami more.

UK Moneyman have helped with my mortgage and remortgage for many years. Always really helpful and knowledgeable. My latest remortgage was done with Conor, who was great at making sure I was getting not just the best deal, but the right deal for my needs.

I found Warren Bailey to be a very helpful and knowledgeable advisor when I discussed with him the potential options for a retirement mortgage . He had contacted me within a day of my seeking an initial conversation with him , and he reassured me there were lenders out there who would consider a mortgage paid out of pension , despite my own bank nort even talking to me as I was over 70 ! Within a couple days Warren had led me through the onboarding process , had explained what documents were needed and had found me a lender suited to my requirements. An excellent experience, and I would recommend him strongly to people looking for a retirement mortgage, and generally . Victor Abrams

We would have given them 20 stars. Both Warren & Lizzi have worked so hard on our behalf, in what has not been the smoothest of circumstances. They have been so professional and kept us updated. Would thoroughly recommend this company. With grateful thanks in getting us our mortgage.
