Deposit Unlock
What is Deposit Unlock?
Deposit Unlock allows your clients to borrow 90.01-95% Loan to Value (LTV) up to a maximum loan of £750,000, on New Build properties.
The scheme supports both first time buyers and home movers with a low deposit to buy a New Build property. It's exclusively for New Build homes with developers participating across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. For more details, download our Deposit Unlock infographic.
