How Much Deposit Do First-Time Buyers Typically Have?
There isn’t one set deposit amount for first-time buyers.
In many cases, deposits tend to fall within a range depending on circumstances, such as:
• Savings built up over time
• Support from family
• Property price and location
Some buyers may have smaller deposits, while others put down more to access different options.
The key is understanding what works for your situation and what may be achievable before you start viewing properties.
