Saving the deposit on a Church Crookham income
Buying at the £532,000 Church Crookham benchmark needs household income of about £56,000, on the lending multiples used in our town guide. A household on that income saving a tenth of it puts away £5,600 a year.
At that rate a 10% deposit of £53,200 takes about 10 years.
The cash that is not the deposit
The deposit is not the only cash you need. Budget for survey, conveyancing, searches and moving.
Average Band D council tax across Hart district is £2,400.02 a year for 2026/27 (it varies by parish), and lenders count committed outgoings when they size your loan.
An income requirement near £56,000 keeps this within reach of a single strong income or a modest joint one. That is unusual and worth knowing.
