A short answer to the question of whether or not you need a deposit to buy a home is yes!
Unless you have the cash to buy a property outright, you’ll need a mortgage and the days of 100 per cent mortgages are long gone.
It used to be the case that five per cent deposit mortgages were on offer, but again these are very rare now.
Banks and other lenders have to be so careful these days about who they lend to, and they have to ensure that repayments can be made.
When you buy a home in Huddersfield, you will need a deposit. For most people, it is a case of considering how much that deposit will need to be and how can they save the funds to cover it.
But there are ways of buying a house with a low deposit.
Here, we at Huddersfield Sales & Lettings take a look at the deposit situation, and how you might be able to buy a property with only a small deposit.
