Frequently asked questions

What makes new build mortgages different?

  • New-build purchases come with tighter timelines, additional lender criteria and longer mortgage offer periods. There are more moving parts — but with clear guidance, the process stays simple and manageable.

Do I need a bigger deposit for a new-build property?

Often, yes. Many lenders ask for slightly higher deposits on new builds, especially flats.

How long does a mortgage offer last on a new build?

 New-build offers can last 6–9 months, sometimes longer.

Can I reserve a property before having a mortgage agreed?

Yes, but it’s safer to have an Agreement in Principle first. It confirms what you can borrow and strengthens your reservation with the developer.

What happens if the build is delayed?

Most purchases complete in 2-3 months, but it can be faster or slower depending on searches, solicitors, and the chain.
