How much deposit ?   A few lenders will accept just 5% ( we even have access to a new special deal where you do not need a deposit) however most lenders will need you to put down at least 10%.  Remember the more you can put down the cheaper the interest rate will be.  Why not talk to us so we can give you a few examples.
