How it works

The deposit is the percentage of the purchase price you pay upfront; subtracting what you already have gives the gap, and dividing that gap by your monthly saving gives the months remaining.

Frequently asked questions

Why is 20% the usual target?

At 20% most lenders drop private mortgage insurance, which lowers the monthly payment.

Can I buy with less?

Often yes, through government-backed or first-time-buyer products, but expect insurance premiums and a higher rate.
