BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Keeping a new-build deposit plan separate from developer incentives.

The Central Bedfordshire snapshot includes places beyond Biggleswade and is not a development-specific price list. A developer’s contribution, upgrade package or discounted price should be disclosed to the lender; it should not be treated as interchangeable with cash savings.

Ask for the full reservation paperwork, expected completion window and ongoing estate or service charges. Where you already own a home, set out the expected equity and the timing of the sale. A gap between selling and completion may change both your housing costs and how long a mortgage offer needs to remain valid.

Use this historical snapshot to frame questions about your shortlist, not to value a home or calculate what you can borrow. Actual property price, lender valuation, deposit, income and commitments need their own assessment.

CHECK THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY

Useful checks, before an offer.

Use these original sources to investigate your shortlist. Your conveyancer and surveyor should advise on the property; a mortgage adviser assesses borrowing and lender requirements.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Do lender valuations consider new-build incentives?

They can. The developer’s incentives and the property valuation should be disclosed and assessed under the lender’s rules.

Should I review protection when moving?

A change in mortgage or household circumstances is a sensible time to review existing life or income protection needs.
