The deposit thresholds Twickenham 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 £36,250, £72,500 and £108,750.
The monthly difference is real. Borrowing 95% costs about £4,026 a month on our illustration, against £3,603 at 85%. That is £5,086 a year, before any rate difference between the bands is counted.

Saving the deposit on a Twickenham income
Buying at the £725,000 Twickenham 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 £72,500 takes about 7 years.
The cash that is not the deposit
The deposit is not the only cash you need. Budget for survey, conveyancing, searches and moving.
Band D council tax in Greater London is £2,486 a year, and lenders count committed outgoings when they size your loan.

By price, Twickenham ranks 1 of the 5 Greater London locations we cover, at £725,000 against a county average of £504,000. Band D council tax here is £2,486, against an average of £2,017 across the towns we cover in the county.
An income requirement near £100,000 puts this firmly in two income territory. A single buyer is unlikely to reach the benchmark price without a large deposit or family help.
