Two Hunter businesses have joined forces to support local home ownership and back the region's continued growth.
Newcastle Permanent and McDonald Jones Homes have launched The Home Grown Deal: an exclusive offer available only to customers building a new McDonald Jones Homes home in the Hunter Region and financing their build with a Newcastle Permanent construction loan.
Eligible customers will be entitled to an exclusive interest rate discount of 0.05 per cent on their variable rate.
Existing McDonald Jones customers living in the Hunter who refinance with Newcastle Permanent will receive a 0.05 per cent variable rate discount or 0.10 per cent per annum fixed-rate discount.
Newcastle Greater Mutual Group (NGM Group) chief customer and digital innovation officer James Cudmore said working together was a natural fit for two organisations with deep roots in the region.
"Newcastle Permanent and McDonald Jones Homes have both been part of the Hunter's story for decades, so coming together like this makes sense," he said.
"We've each played a role in helping local people build their futures, and by combining our strengths we're making it easier for more families to build a home in the region they love.
"This collaboration reflects our shared confidence in the Hunter and our ongoing commitment to the communities that have shaped us."
McDonald Jones chief executive officer Rob Douglas said the launch of The Home Grown Deal for McDonald Jones was a game-changer for customers.
"There has never been a better time to build a new home with McDonald Jones and Newcastle Permanent than right now," he said.
