Deposit Match: 5% Deposit Contribution Scheme

Getting onto the property ladder isn’t always easy - the cost of living and trying to save while paying rent can all make it feel out of reach. That’s where we come in. We understand how challenging it can be, which is why we’re here to support you with practical solutions that could make a real difference.

With Deposit Match, Persimmon Homes could help you get started by matching your 5% deposit with an extra 5%, giving you a total 10% deposit towards your new build home through our deposit contribution scheme.

What is the scheme?

If you’ve saved a 5% deposit for a Persimmon home, we could match it by providing an additional 5%, giving you a total deposit of 10%.

How does a Deposit Match work?

For example, if the home you wanted to buy was £200,000, you would need to have a deposit of at least £10,000 (5%). With Deposit Match, we would contribute an additional £10,000 (another 5%), giving you a total deposit of £20,000 (10%).

This means you’ll start your homeownership journey with a larger deposit, making it easier to take that next step by securing a smaller mortgage at a lower interest rate.

What do I do next?

Once you’ve found a home you think could be for you, contact the development where a sales advisor will be able to tell you if you can use Deposit Match on your preferred plot.

The sales advisor can also put you in touch with a specialist New Homes Mortgage Advisor who will be able to advise you further on how to secure the best mortgage for you.
