Can you buy a property with a deposit under 10%?
You can buy a property presenting a deposit of less than 10% of the home's selling price. Beyond just getting the agreement of the vendor, please see below various examples of conveyancing where this is normal.
- If you're using the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme, your deposit can be as low as 5%.
- If you're buying a shared ownership property, you have to pay a 10% deposit – but this is a percentage of the percentage you're buying, so in effect your deposit can be as little as 2.5% of the whole selling price.
- You don't have to present any deposit if you're buying using a No Deposit Mortgage (Offset): funds are provided by a helper instead (click to read more).
- If you're buying a concessionary purchase, the discount from the full selling price counts as the deposit (click to read more).
