Rate Reducer vs. Flex Explained

Tackle the cost of living with a reduced-rate mortgage that fits your needs.

  • Own New Rate Reducer: Uses a 5% builder contribution to give you the lowest possible interest rate, maximising your monthly savings.
  • Own New Flex: Uses a 3% builder contribution to lower your rate, giving you the flexibility to use other available L&Q incentives (like a deposit top-up or help with stamp duty) at the same time.

Whichever you choose, it’s simply a regular mortgage, just with lower monthly payments for the initial fixed period. Because your interest rate is lower, you even pay down more of your capital in those early years! Own New makes your beautiful new home a reduced-rate reality.

The terms and conditions of the Own New scheme can vary depending on personal circumstances. This scheme’s availability can vary based on the development and the criteria of the lender. Please note that Own New will only be available on selected plots at selected developments.
