Home by Milestone × Mayflower Mortgage
A better home starts with the right finance.
From buying a plot to building your dream home, getting the finance right matters.
That's why Home by Milestone has partnered with self-build mortgage specialists Mayflower Mortgage — to help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.
Specialist self-build finance Strategic Home partner
Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or another debt secured against it.
Strategic finance partnersThe partnership
Great homes need more than great design.
They need the right people, the right decisions and the right financial foundations.
At Home, we help people explore better ways to build, discover products and connect with the specialists who understand them.
But before many projects can move forward, there is one essential question:
How are we going to fund it?
That's where Mayflower comes in. Through our strategic partnership, Home can connect you with specialist mortgage advisers who understand the particular challenges of self-build, renovation and conversion projects.
Our finance partner
Not your everyday mortgage broker.
Mayflower is a family-run specialist mortgage broker. It began when its directors, Mike and Lulu, found the finance market limited and complex while securing a mortgage for their own self-build project.
Specialist knowledge
A specialist broker for self-build, renovation and barn conversion mortgages, founded by directors who financed their own self-build.
Personal guidance
Mayflower says a dedicated self-build expert guides clients through the process until the build is complete.
Specialist lender options
An independent broker, not a lender, working with lenders suited to more complex building projects.
Build cost support
Build reports and cash-flow forecasting support are among the services Mayflower offers self-builders, where applicable.
Staged funding
Guidance on how funds can be released in stages as construction progresses.
Longer-term support
Advice through the application and the relevant stages of the build.

Why it matters
A self-build mortgage isn't an ordinary mortgage.
Unlike buying a finished property, building a home can involve buying land, construction stages, specialist valuations, lender requirements and money released in phases.
Mayflower specialises in helping clients navigate these complexities.
Understand your options
Find out which kinds of finance may fit your project and your stage.
Plan your finance
Think through budget, affordability and how money could be released as the build progresses.
Move forward with clarity
Know what to prepare and what the next steps could be.
