A helping hand towards your new home
Saving for a deposit can often be one of the biggest challenges when buying a home. That’s why we’ve introduced our 5% Deposit Contribution scheme, designed to help make your move more achievable.
On selected homes, we’ll contribute 5% of the purchase price towards your deposit, helping your savings go further and reducing the amount you need to contribute yourself. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner, this could bring your new Shelbourne Estates home within easier reach.
Why choose 5% Deposit Contribution?
✓ Receive a contribution worth 5% of your home’s purchase price.
✓ Reduce the amount you need from your own savings.
✓ Available to first-time buyers and existing homeowners.
✓ Access competitive mortgage products.
✓ Available on selected Shelbourne Estates homes.
How does it work?
Our 5% Deposit Contribution scheme is simple.
Once you’ve found an eligible home, we’ll contribute 5% of the purchase price towards your deposit, reducing the amount you need to provide from your own funds.
This can help make purchasing your new home more affordable while allowing you to keep more of your savings available for moving costs, furnishings and life’s other expenses.
See the difference
Example purchase price: £600,000
Without Deposit Contribution
- Deposit required (10%) = £60,000
- Your savings required = £60,000
With 5% Deposit Contribution
- Deposit required (10%) = £60,000
- Shelbourne contribution = £30,000
- Your savings required = £30,000
That’s £30,000 less needed from your own savings.
