  • In employment
  • The property will be your only residence
  • You’ve been qualified by a recommended financial advisor

How it works

Save to Buy is a scheme designed to help those who otherwise could not afford to buy. The scheme is available on selected plots and subject to status. You can apply for the Save to Buy scheme with a Sales Representative on developments where there is availability.

If approved for the scheme, you will complete a reservation form and exchange contracts with just a 1% deposit. From there, you will move in, and live in your brand new, energy-efficient home at a fixed monthly cost. 

100% of the amount you pay through the Save to Buy scheme goes towards topping up your deposit - so you aren’t wasting a single penny on rent. When you are within one month of reaching your required deposit amount, you will submit a mortgage application form to buy the property.
