Homeowners thinking of moving to Durham can do so with greater peace of mind thanks to the mortgage paid scheme offered by Smart New Homes. It allows both a person and their mortgage to be protected should the homeowner be made redundant, which takes the worry out of making repayments. The scheme will ensure the mortgage is paid over the course of 24 months, or until the homeowner finds another job. Furthermore, it will be arranged through financial advisors nominated by Keepmoat Homes, making sure the policy works to the person's needs.
