Our Great Start Scheme

The Great Start scheme is designed to ensure your finances go that little bit further when buying a new home. With Great Start, you could purchase a selected new Shelbourne Estates home with just a 5% deposit and a 45% mortgage, while enjoying 100% ownership of your home from day one. Shelbourne Estates then provides a 50% equity loan, interest-free for the first five years.

So how does it work?
Once you’ve found your ideal home, securing it is simple.

Step 1: Reserve your home
Choose your preferred eligible home and reserve it with a nominal reservation fee.

Step 2: Pay a 5% deposit
You’ll contribute a deposit equivalent to just 5% of the purchase price.

Step 3: Arrange a 45% mortgage
You’ll then secure a mortgage for 45% of the property’s value.

Step 4: Receive a 50% equity loan
Shelbourne Estates provides the remaining 50% through an equity loan, which is interest-free for the first five years.

Step 5: Move in and enjoy
Your new home is 100% yours to live in and enjoy from the moment you complete.

A simple example
Purchase price: £400,000

Your deposit (5%) = £20,000

Your mortgage (45%) = £180,000

Great Start equity loan (50%) = £200,000

Total = £400,000

This means you can secure your new home with a smaller deposit and mortgage than you might traditionally require.
