Helping secure your dream home with Deposit Top-Up

Put down a 10% deposit, and we'll top it up by 5%, making it easier to buy the home you've always wanted

Move into your new home with a larger deposit

If the size of your deposit is holding you back from buying the home you want, then talk to us about Deposit Top-Up. With Deposit Top-Up, we’ll contribute up to another 5% towards your new home in addition to your 10% deposit. This means you'll have a maximum total deposit of 15%.

How could Deposit Top-Up benefit me?

Whether you already own a home and don’t have enough equity to move on, or you’re a first time buyer and you need a bigger deposit, talk to us about Deposit Top-Up. We could boost your deposit by up to 5% of the purchase price of your new property, making it easier to buy the home that was just out of your reach.

How does it work?

As an example, if you wanted to buy a £200,000 new home, you would put down £20,000 (10%) and we’d boost your deposit by up to £10,000 (5%), giving you a total potential deposit of £30,000 (15%). You may then only need to secure an 85% mortgage. For the same purchase if you put down a deposit of £25,000 (12.5%) we would boost your deposit by up to £5,000 (2.5%), again giving a total deposit of £30,000 (15%).

Step 3. We'll top up your deposit with an additional 5%

We’ll boost your deposit by up to 5% of the total purchase price, potentially helping you to move sooner and maybe even giving you access to better mortgage deals by increasing your loan to value.
