MI New Home is a brand new initiative developed by the Scottish Ministers and new home building industry body Homes for Scotland aimed at assisting all buyers of new homes in Scotland.
The MI New Home mortgage indemnity guarantee scheme will allow purchasers of a new Persimmon home in Scotland the opportunity to obtain a 95% loan to value mortgage.
The typical deposit needed to buy a home is 20 per cent; so for a home worth £200,000 buyers using the Mi New Home scheme need a deposit of just £10,000 rather than £40,000.
Persimmon Homes aims to offer the MI New Home scheme to all buyers, not just those looking for their first home, on new build houses and flats across Scotland with a purchase price up to £250,000.
For existing homeowners who are looking to move up the property ladder into larger homes - our part exchange scheme is available through select lenders.**
Use our search facility and once you have found a new home that you are interested in contact or visit the development for further information.
A similar scheme - NewBuy - is available for home buyers in England.
