The deposit thresholds Inverurie lenders price against
Lenders price in bands. Crossing from 95% to 90% borrowing, then to 85%, usually moves you to a cheaper rate. On the local average those thresholds are £12,250, £24,500 and £36,750.
The monthly difference is real. Borrowing 95% costs about £1,361 a month on our illustration, against £1,217 at 85%. That is £1,719 a year, before any rate difference between the bands is counted.
An income requirement near £54,000 keeps this within reach of a single strong income or a modest joint one. That is unusual and worth knowing.

Saving the deposit on an Inverurie income
Buying at the £245,000 Inverurie benchmark needs household income of about £54,000, on the lending multiples used in our town guide. A household on that income saving a tenth of it puts away £5,400 a year.
At that rate a 10% deposit of £24,500 takes about 5 years.
