Deposit Assist
As a first-time buyer, if your family or friends give you a helping hand with your deposit, we’ll give them a £2,000 thank you AND we’ll give you an extra boost, with £5,000 towards your moving costs*.
It can be a huge challenge to pull together a deposit for your first home, but if your family or friends are in a position to help you get onto the property ladder, we’ll help you show your appreciation.
Introducing Deposit Assist from Countryside Homes. When your friends or relatives contribute a minimum of 5% towards the deposit for your Countryside home, we’ll give them a £2,000 gift.
The process is simple, as soon as you complete on your new home, we’ll transfer the money to them. It doesn’t stop there though; we’ll also give you £5,000 cashback that you can use towards moving costs or furnishings for your new home.
Making use of our Deposit Assist scheme isn’t the only reason to buy a brand-new Countryside home.
Buying one of our new build homes could save you money in the long term thanks to their energy efficient design.
With the cost of utility bills continuing to creep up, a Countryside Home could help you save up to £2,600^ a year on your energy bills in comparison to an older second-hand property.
These savings could increase to as much as £3,100 when the energy price guarantee changes on 1st July 2023.
