Are you a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner looking to buy new but worried about high mortgage rates? The Own New rate reducing initiative could be for you…
Unlock low mortgage rates and reduce your monthly payments using Own New, the brand new rate reducer initiative available to first-time buyers and existing homeowners.
The scheme, exclusively available on new-build properties, is designed to help all buyers have the best possible chance of securing a brand-new home.
Depending on how far through the build process we are with your home, we can contribute up to 5% towards the purchase price of your new home.
This contribution goes directly to your mortgage lender through Own New, meaning you don’t have to do a thing.
You can reduce your mortgage rate and enjoy lower monthly repayments, leaving you more money to spend on the fixtures and fittings that will make your new house a home!
As well as visiting the Tilia Homes development you’re interested in, we recommend you speak with an independent financial or mortgage advisor, who will be able to find the best rates and ensure you’re in the best position to purchase the house you want. Our mortgage calculator tool is also very handy for seeing what you may be able to afford with the Own New.
Browse our website to find a development in the location you’d like to live. Choose a home that best suits your requirements and get in touch with the sales team to make an appointment. Tell them you’re interested in our Own New initiative.
Once you’ve finalised the purchase of your brand new Tilia home, it’s time to move in, relax and enjoy!
Once you’ve qualified for Own New and have a mortgage agreed, the purchase of your new Tilia home can proceed and you can pay the standard reservation fee.
Who’s eligible to use Own New’s service? And how does it work?
This scheme is open to anyone purchasing a new build property including first time buyers and home movers. Own New works with home builders and lenders behind the scenes, taking a fee from the home builders and using this with the lender to reduce the interest on mortgage payments for the initial term.
What properties are Rate Reducer and Deposit Drop available on?
Please speak to your local sales rep for information on which properties offer the Own New scheme.
Is it possible to combine Rate Reducer and Deposit Drop?
It's not currently possible to combine the two mortgage products.
Who will my mortgage be with?
Your mortgage is directly with the lender. Own New is the platform that sits between your broker and the lender to ensure you get a great deal.
How do I get started? How do I access this service?
Once you’ve found one of our properties you love, your local sales rep can recommend an Own New approved broker who will guide you through the mortgage application process.
“Although we have good jobs and have both had salary rises and can afford to pay a mortgage, we only had a small deposit and most deals were for a deposit of 10 per cent or more”.... “we would not have been able to buy it without the help of the Own New five per cent mortgage. We are so grateful.”

“The deal we have got will see us pay £1,050 a month on the mortgage for our own three- bedroom house while the flat we were sharing in Newcastle city centre was costing £1,200 a month to rent.”
