    It is my first time purchasing property and I have a quick but sure than simple question.

    As I love OS I have to put 20% deposit. I have seen a property which is up for auction I am presuming if I won the auction I would need to put down a deposit (lets say 10%). When would I need to put the remaining 10% deposit down?

    Thanks

    At settlement you will be required to coe up with the remaining funds.

    This would be the 80% from the lender and the 10% from yourself.

    Don’t forget to consider all the buying costs.

    If you buy at auction the contract will be unconditional so ensure you have all of your finance approved.

    Can you explain why you think you need to stay at 80% lend?

    All the best,

    thanks for your reply, I am aware of the extra costs.

    I have been told as I am an Australian resident currently living in London I will need 20% deposit. This does not bother me as then will not need mortgage insurance.

    Thanks
