The deposit thresholds Wyatts Green 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 £38,750, £77,500 and £116,250.
The monthly difference is real. Borrowing 95% costs about £4,304 a month on our illustration, against £3,851 at 85%. That is £5,437 a year, before any rate difference between the bands is counted.
An income requirement near £172,000 puts this firmly in two income territory. A single buyer is unlikely to reach the benchmark price without a large deposit or family help.
