Deposit Unlock
Secure your new Persimmon home with only a 5% deposit
What is Deposit Unlock?
Deposit Unlock is a mortgage guarantee product that allows you to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 5%. Using the scheme, first-time buyers and existing homeowners can secure selected new Persimmon homes up to the value of £750,000.*
How it works
Developed in a collaboration between the Home Builders Federation (HBF), mortgage lenders, the housebuilding industry, and the scheme manager Gallagher Re, the scheme enables participating lenders to offer 90-95% LTV mortgages on new-build homes.
The product is backed by mortgage indemnity insurance to which Persimmon makes a financial contribution. The insurance covers the lender in the event of a loss as a result of repossession.
