Where the rate bands sit on a Great Warley purchase

How long saving actually takes here
Buying at the £900,000 Great Warley benchmark needs household income of about £200,000, on the lending multiples used in our town guide. A household on that income saving a tenth of it puts away £20,000 a year.
At that rate a 10% deposit of £90,000 takes about 4 years.
Fees, duty and the rest of the cash pile
The deposit is not the only cash you need. Budget for survey, conveyancing, searches and moving.
Band D council tax in Essex is £2,233 a year, and lenders count committed outgoings when they size your loan.
An income requirement near £200,000 puts this firmly in two income territory. A single buyer is unlikely to reach the benchmark price without a large deposit or family help.
