Deposit Bridge

Complete a quick five-minute affordability check with Wayhome to find out how much you could comfortably spend. Once you've received your Home Budget, you're ready to start looking for your new home.

Browse a range of selected Persimmon homes available through Deposit Bridge on the Wayhome website, book a visit and reserve the home that's right for you.

Deposit Bridge is available on selected plots and is subject to approval.

Wayhome buys the property for you while you prepare for future homeownership.

Before you move in, you'll pay:

• £1,000 reservation fee
• 1% purchase option fee

Your reservation fee is deducted from your purchase option fee. Once you've moved in, you can settle in and make your new home feel like yours, whether that's adding your own style or welcoming a new pet.

Plus, we’ll also throw in the following specifications so you can move in straight away:

• Flooring throughout
• Fridge freezer
• Turf to the rear garden

Move in and start making your house a home.

Your monthly payments are fixed for five years, giving you certainty without the annual increases you’re likely to get while renting.

After five years, you'll have the opportunity to buy your home with a 10% discount on its market value.

This discount can help replace a traditional cash deposit and may allow you to apply for a 90% loan-to-value mortgage, subject to lender criteria.

If your life circumstances change, there is no obligation to buy and you may be eligible to receive up to 7% to support your next move when the home is sold.***

No. Deposit Bridge is different from the Government Right to Buy scheme available to eligible council tenants.

Deposit Bridge gives you the opportunity to buy your home after five years, but it's a separate scheme available on selected Persimmon developments.

Deposit Bridge isn't part of the Government Right to Buy scheme, so you'll apply for a standard mortgage when you're ready to buy your home.

Some customers may find that the 10% discount helps them access borrowing similar to a Right to Buy mortgage, subject to lender criteria.

Wayhome's funding partner owns the property during your five-year agreement while you enjoy living in the home.
