New Build Boost

Saved a 5% deposit? You could get a 15% interest-free boost* with this new mortgage scheme from Gen H, supported by Persimmon.

New Build Boost is a mortgage with an interest-free boost! With just a 5% deposit, Gen H could provide an additional 15% interest-free equity loan to help get you moving into your very own Persimmon home*.

Gen H’s New Build Boost fills the gap left by the ending of the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme, giving you access to an 80% LTV mortgage.

How it works

Say you want to buy a Persimmon home that costs £250,000, and you’ve saved a deposit of £12,500 (5%).

If New Build Boost is available on this home, Gen H could provide a standard mortgage* of up to 80% (£200,000). The remaining 15% will be made up by an interest-free boost (equity loan), also from Gen H.

As the 15% loan is interest-free for the lifetime of the loan, it will boost your affordability and potentially increase the amount that you can borrow from Gen H, helping you to buy your dream home.

What happens after 5 years?

The value of the boost is fixed for the first 5 years of your mortgage.

If you choose to keep the boost beyond the 5-year mark, the balance will jump up or down to reflect any change in your property’s value since you bought it. Then it’ll continue to go up or down as the property value changes over time.

Or, you can pay it back and switch to a standard mortgage product.

FAQs

What is New Build Boost?

New Build Boost is a typical 80% LTV mortgage with a 15% deposit boost in the form of an equity loan. It’s provided by the company Gen H, and supported by Persimmon.

Who is eligible?

There are no extra eligibility criteria beyond the standard rules to qualify for a Gen H mortgage – simply put, New Build Boost is for buyers who need it. If you’d like to find out  more about New Build Boost, speak to an independent financial advisor.

Can I use the scheme if I have a deposit bigger than 5%?

Yes, you will need a minimum deposit of 5% to use the scheme. The interest-free boost is fixed at 15% and the mortgage makes up the rest, so a maximum of 80%. There is no interest rate advantage of having a larger deposit, but you will have a smaller mortgage so your monthly payments will be lower.

Can New Build Boost help me buy my home?

Yes, subject to availability. If there’s a Persimmon home you love but you don’t have the standard 10% deposit that’s usually required and you qualify for a Gen H mortgage, you might be able to use New Build Boost to purchase that home.
