Proof of deposit!!!!
When buying a property with or without a mortgage, proof of deposit/funds will need to be evidenced.
Mortgage Brokers (me 😁), Estate Agents and sometimes lenders will ask to see your proof of funds.
For mortgage purposes it will be asked for to help work out your affordability and what property value you could potentially buy. We will also (along with the lender) check to see how the funds have been built up to make sure it’s not from anything dodgy 👀
Estate Agents will ask for their money laundering checks as well and to ensure that you able to afford what you are offering on the property.
So if you are going through the house buying journey and get asked the question , it is nothing to worry about and is part of the process.
If you have any questions on deposits or what’s the best savings accounts to hold your deposit in, then feel free to reach out 👋🏼
