Own New Rate Reducer Scheme

Own New helps you move into your dream Persimmon home with lower mortgage rates. We've partnered with Own New to offer a simple, more affordable way to buy your home.

What does that mean exactly?

We're using our financial incentive to directly reduce the cost of your mortgage. Instead of a standard discount, we're contributing these funds to the lender through the Own New platform, which is then used to significantly lower your mortgage interest rate for the initial fixed term.

Ultimately, this partnership allows you to leverage our contribution to secure cheaper monthly payments, boost your deposit, or receive cashback, making buying your new Persimmon home much more financially accessible.

Who can benefit?

It's available to both first-time buyers and home movers purchasing a Persimmon home.


Two ways to Own New

There are two Own New products to choose from, depending on your needs:


Own New Rate Reducer: Uses a 5% builder incentive to give you the largest possible rate reduction, maximizing your monthly savings.


Own New Flex: Uses a 3% builder incentive to reduce your mortgage rate, which can be paired with other builder incentives (like deposit contributions or stamp duty help) where available.


Talk to a sales advisor about what products and incentives are available on your chosen plot!

Frequently Asked Questions

Own New Rate Reducer uses a 5% incentive to reduce the mortgage interest rate as much as possible. That can lower the monthly payment significantly during the initial mortgage period.

Own New Flex uses a 3% incentive toward reducing the mortgage rate, while leaving room for other Persimmon incentives where available. Any other offers available will depend on the plot you are buying -  please speak to your sales advisor to find out more. 

Yes. Own New is designed so the full builder incentive works for the buyer. Depending on the product and lender structure, that benefit may appear through a lower rate, cashback, deposit support, or a combination of these.

No. The mortgage is directly with the lender. Advice is provided by an approved broker where advice is needed. Own New sits between the builder, lender, and broker to help structure the incentive.

Yes. Own New is not shared ownership. You buy and own 100% of your home
from day one, subject to the normal mortgage and conveyancing process.

No. Availability depends on the builder, the development, and sometimes the specific plot. That is why the website should be treated as a browse-and-enquire journey rather than a universal product promise.
