Home Loan Deposit

Deposit for a home purchase can be made up of three different stages.
  • The total available deposit available to contribute toward the purchase.
  • The holding deposit usually payable when an offer is accepted but prior to the contracts of sale being signed and exchanged.
  • The 5 or 10 percent deposit usually payable following exchange of contracts for sale.
