Ownership Schemes Explained

Plain-English guidance on how to buy a new build with a smaller deposit

💵

Shared Ownership

Buy a share of a home (typically 25%–75%) and pay rent on the rest. Deposits can start from 5% of the share, making new builds accessible on a much smaller budget. Available on many Essex and East London developments.

Widely Available

🏠

Developer Incentives

Developers frequently offer deposit contributions, part-exchange, upgraded kitchens or legal-fee contributions — especially in the pre-launch phase. We negotiate these on your behalf and tell you what is genuinely worth taking.

We Negotiate For You

🛡️

10-Year Warranty

Every new build we market comes with a 10-year structural warranty (NHBC, LABC or similar). We verify the insurer and cover before you reserve, so there are no surprises after you move in.

Standard On All New Builds

Note: the Help to Buy equity loan scheme closed to new applications in England in October 2022. Where a government scheme applies to a specific development, we will confirm current eligibility rules directly with the developer.

Benefits of Buying New

New Homes FAQs

When will Thane Estate new build homes be available?

Our first new build partnerships across Essex and East London are being finalised for launch. Register your interest and you will be notified before any development is released publicly — registered buyers get first choice of plots and incentive packages.

What ownership schemes are available on new builds?

This depends on the development. Shared Ownership is widely available on new builds across Essex and East London. Note that the Help to Buy equity loan scheme closed to new applications in England in October 2022 — if a scheme is available on a specific development we will explain the eligibility criteria, deposit required and monthly costs in plain English.

What warranty comes with a new build home?

New build homes in England are typically covered by a 10-year structural warranty from providers such as NHBC, LABC or Premier Guarantee. The first two years usually cover defects in fixtures and fittings as well as structural elements. We confirm the exact warranty and insurer for every development we market.

Why buy a new build through Thane Estate rather than directly from the developer?

Our service costs you nothing extra — we are paid by the developer. You get an independent local expert who knows the area, can compare developments honestly, negotiates on your behalf, and supports you through reservation, mortgage, exchange and completion. We also flag reservation fees, leasehold terms and ground rent clauses that buyers often miss.

Can I reserve a plot before a development launches publicly?

Yes. Buyers on our early-access list are offered plots during the pre-launch phase, often with the best choice of positions, finishes and incentive packages. Register your requirements and budget and we will contact you as soon as a matching release is confirmed.
