On the £700,000 Winchfield average, a 5% deposit is £35,000, 10% is £70,000 and 15% is £105,000. The gap between those three numbers usually decides your interest rate, not your application.
The three numbers that matter in Winchfield
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 £35,000, £70,000 and £105,000.
The monthly difference is real. Borrowing 95% costs about £3,888 a month on our illustration, against £3,478 at 85%. That is £4,911 a year, before any rate difference between the bands is counted.

The years behind the deposit figure
Buying at the £700,000 Winchfield benchmark needs household income of about £155,000, on the lending multiples used in our town guide. A household on that income saving a tenth of it puts away £15,500 a year.
At that rate a 10% deposit of £70,000 takes about 5 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 Buy in Winchfield is £2,382 a year, and lenders count committed outgoings when they size your loan.
