New Build Mortgages FAQs

Can I reserve before my mortgage is ready?

Yes. We can help with proof-of-funds letters and fast-track approvals so you can secure your plot quickly.

Do lenders hold the rate if completion is months away?

Some lenders offer extended offer periods or rate retention. We’ll shortlist the right products for your build timeline.

Is NHBC cover required?

Most lenders accept NHBC or equivalent (e.g., LABC, Premier). We’ll confirm which warranty your chosen lender needs.

Can you get a mortgage on a new build with a 5% deposit?

Yes. Some lenders accept 5% deposits on new builds, though they may have stricter criteria than for older homes. Options include government-backed schemes and specialist products.

Do new build houses hold their value?

New builds can sometimes dip slightly in value after purchase, especially in the first few years. Location and build quality make the biggest difference. We’ll advise on local developments that show strong long-term demand.
