The timeline from entry to launch will be entirely driven by the house builder's internal process to review and agree legal documentation and ability to complete the due diligence requirements. Gallagher Re will be able to support throughout this process. Upon completion of the second stage, the house builder can be live on the scheme within two weeks.

The entity chosen for registration needs to ensure there are no signs of insolvency to avoid a pre-funded sales route to utilise Deposit Unlock.

No, the scheme is open to developers of any size.
