We suggest that you get as big of a deposit as possible, the reason for this is because the deposit is the lender’s protection. When deciding whether or not to accept a mortgage application, lenders have to think about the challenges potential borrowers may encounter during the life of the mortgage. These may include temporary falls in house prices and periods of unemployment. The bigger the deposit is the smaller monthly repayments because the mortgage would be smaller.

Buyers may be liable for stamp duty and will need to pay solicitor’s and surveyor’s fees. The actual cost of moving from A to B and of furnishing and equipping a new home will depend on a variety of factors. It can, however, be useful to have a budget for unforeseen expenses. In other words, funds available to deal with anything about your new home that you only notice once you’ve moved in.
