    G'day,  Thinking of financing with interest only repayments. In this scenario, I'd like to pay as little deposit as possible i.e. less than 10%.  Are lenders happy to go for that arrangement, given you have a solid ability to make payments?

    For example, I'd rather keep 40K in my pocket than give it to the bank. Obviously I need to consider the downside risk of a falling market etc.

    Any

    cheers

    Hi Jads

    Yes you are not required to utilise all of your savings as a deposit.

    Many lenders have now cut back their maximum loan to 90% however still a few doing 95% LVR.

    You would be better of to look at a 100% offset account where you would get the best of both world being immediate access to your funds as well as an interest saving on your loan.
