The deposit thresholds Chiddingfold lenders price against

Saving the deposit on a Chiddingfold income
Buying at the £813,000 Chiddingfold benchmark needs household income of about £100,000, on the lending multiples used in our town guide. A household on that income saving a tenth of it puts away £10,000 a year.
At that rate a 10% deposit of £81,300 takes about 8 years.
The cash that is not the deposit
The deposit is not the only cash you need. Budget for survey, conveyancing, searches and moving.
