Buying with Stonebridge
Here we answer so common questions we are often asked about the buying process with us as this can differ from other house builders.
Once you are in the position to reserve your new Stonebridge home, you will pay a reservation fee of £500. This reservation fee will then go towards the cost of the purchase.
Upon the exchanging of contracts a 10% deposit is usually required. If you are using a high deposit the rest of the deposit is required for completion.
Stonebridge Homes are not registered to provide financial advice. However you can contact one of our recommended New Build Mortgage Specialists who will discuss the most appropriate financial solution for you. Our Sales Advisors can help put you in touch with them.
You are very welcome to use people you already know. However, we have recommended New Build Mortgage Specialists and Legal Experts who we know and trust, and who can work with you to ensure everything runs smoothly towards meeting the agreed Exchange of Contracts target dates.

Please contact the sales advisor for the relevant site and they will be able to advise on time frames and if it is possible to reserve an un-released plot. We can on occasion offer early bird reservations should you have a specific plot of preference and providing you’re in a position where you are able to proceed with the purchase.
If you are a FTB and require a mortgage, you will need to provide a ‘decision in principle’ to be able to reserve your new home. If you have a house to sell, your house needs to be sold and you will need to provide a ‘memorandum of sale’. If you have a have a house to sell and require a mortgage you will need both these documents to reserve your new home. If you are a cash buyer, you will need to provide proof of funds. Our Sales Advisors will be able to advise further on this, so it is best to speak to them.
Buying off-plan means that you purchase your new home before it has been built. Buying this early on has the advantage that you can pick all of your own personal choices for the plot, as some plots that have already been built you are limited to the extras you can choose.
The process of buying a new build home can differ from each house builder, we have listed out the journey of buying your new Stonebridge home here.
If you reserve your new home in the early stages of the build or before construction has begun, you have the options to choose all your extras. This includes kitchens, tiling, extra sockets, flooring and so much more. Speak to our Sales Advisors to get a full list of what you pick.
