BUYING YOUR FIRST NEW HOME COULD BE EASIER & MORE AFFORDABLE THAN YOU THINK, THANKS TO THESE 3 FANTASTIC SCHEMES:

  • Countryside Homes has partnered with Own New to offer Rate Reducer†, a scheme that allows customers to unlock lower mortgage interest rates over a fixed period, making monthly payments more affordable. Countryside Homes makes this possible by giving a financial contribution of 3% to Own New, who then passes this on to your lender (after deducting their commission).
  • Available on selected new homes at St Luke's Park, our Share & Save scheme^ allows you to buy a new home for just 70% of the price. You'll have no rent to pay on the remaining equity for 10 years and you'll be able to purchase further shares in the property in future years!
  • Need a helping hand with your deposit? Our Deposit Contribution offer is designed to give you the boost you need to make your home ownership goals a reality. Reserve now, and we'll be able to contribute up to 5% towards your deposit*.

Own New Rate Reducer is available at the lender’s discretion. Mortgages up to a maximum value of £1,000,000 only. Rate reduction is for the fixed, introductory period of the mortgage only (usually 2, 3 or 5 years but this will depend on your individual mortgage). Your interest rate and mortgage payments will increase after the fixed, introductory period – please consult your independent financial advisor and/or your lender. See ownnew.co.uk for more information about the Own New Rate Reducer scheme. Countryside Homes is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and cannot offer mortgage advice. Independent financial advice must be sought from a regulated mortgage broker to access this scheme. You should confirm with your independent financial advisor that the Own New Rate Reducer Scheme, and any mortgage deal available with the benefit of the scheme, is suitable for you, in your individual circumstances. The Own New Rate Reducer Scheme is an independent third party scheme. If you are eligible for the scheme, then Countryside Homes will make a cash payment after completion of up to 3% of the purchase price of the property to Own New, which will be passed onto the relevant participating lender so that they can offer a mortgage product at a rate that is subsidised from their usual product range. Rate reductions, rates and savings are subject to availability of the Own New scheme. References to reductions and any example rates and savings are as compared to the same mortgage without use of the Own New scheme over the fixed, introductory period of the mortgage.
