Why buy Harpercrewe

Frequently asked questions

01
How do I apply for the Save to Buy scheme?
+

Simply complete and submit our Save to Buy application form. Once we receive it, our team will review your details and confirm your eligibility for the scheme.

02
What are the eligibility criteria for Save to Buy?
+

To qualify for our Save to Buy scheme, you must show you can afford the 5% deposit (split into two 2.5% instalments) and meet affordability for a mortgage. You’ll need to provide recent bank statements, a mortgage decision in principle, and a mortgage offer.

03
What happens if I'm not eligible?
+

If you're not eligible for the Save to Buy scheme, don’t worry – you can still purchase your home through a traditional route, using a full deposit and a standard mortgage. Our team will guide you through the best options available. 

04
Is eligibility a guarantee?
+

Unfortunately not. We’ll need to carry out a full financial review before confirming your reservation under the Save to Buy scheme. 

05
What documents do I need to provide?
+

To apply, you’ll need to submit recent bank statements, a mortgage decision in principle, and a formal mortgage offer from a lender. These documents help us support your application for a Save to Buy mortgage and confirm your eligibility. 

06
How much deposit do I need?
+

With the Save to Buy scheme, your total deposit is just 5% of the purchase price. 2.5% of that is due at the point of exchange, while the remaining 2.5% is paid on completion. This makes it easier to save to buy your new home over time. 

07
When is the second 2.5% deposit due?
+

The remaining 2.5% of your deposit is payable on legal completion of your home purchase, typically within six months of exchange. 

08
What if I can’t save the second 2.5%?
+

We understand circumstances can change. If you're unable to save the second 2.5%, we’ll review your situation with care. If continuing isn’t possible, we’ll refund your initial 2.5% deposit under the terms of the Save to Buy scheme. 

09
When do I officially own the property?
+

You become the legal owner of your HarperCrewe home on the day of completion, once all contracts are finalised and funds have been transferred. 

10
What is a Save to Buy scheme?
+

The Save to Buy scheme is a flexible path to homeownership, designed to help buyers reserve a new home with a smaller initial deposit. You pay just 2.5% to exchange contracts, then continue saving the rest while your home is being built. This lets you save to buy gradually, and secure today’s prices without waiting.
