Deposit options for property finance

• One must have a minimum of 5% of the purchase price of the property in genuine savings that a lender needs to see in bank statements (past 3 months from the date of application). This will show the lender a genuine demonstration of your ability to save. This is the standard requirement.
• Have you received a gift from a family member? We can use this as a deposit source as well as long as it is declared. What if you haven't saved over the last 3 months and have received irregular deposits? That's fine - we can assist with those lenders that have a "Non-Genuine Savings" product.
• If you have an existing property though, we can use the equity in that to purchase another property.
• Further still, if you have a family member that's willing to be a guarantor on the loan application and if you qualify, then you won't need a deposit as their property will cover the upfront costs and deposit.
