Helping secure a property
A deposit bond is a cash deposit alternative when you don't have access to cash, but will by the time of settlement. It can benefit a range of situations if you're looking to secure a property purchase. Getting a 10% deposit can be challenging. You can use a deposit bond in place of cash for the deposit required. Then, at settlement, you pay for the full purchase price, including the deposit amount and other costs.

A deposit bond, sometimes referred to as a deposit guarantee, is an insurance policy that is used in place of the cash deposit required between signing the contract of sale and settlement. Just like a cash deposit, a deposit bond guarantees a purchaser’s commitment to an unconditional contract of sale.
- A First Home Buyer, borrowing 100% of the purchase price plus costs, through a parental guarantee or family pledge arrangement, with the loan funds only available at settlement;
- A Purchaser who simply does not have the cash deposit or enough cash available when entering into a contract of sale;
- A Property Investor who has their cash tied up in property and are cash poor today;
- Downsizing or Upsizing, where you are looking to buy and sell simultaneously, with your cash locked away in the equity of your home you are selling or plan to sell;
- Applying for a Bridging Loan that allows you to purchase a new home before finalising the sale of your existing one. A deposit bond will give you the ability to exchange on your property prior to settlement of your sale purchase;
- Buying off-the-plan with longer settlements, looking to keep your access to your cash where it may be working harder for you.
Getting into the property market can be frustrating. Once you’ve found a property you love and can afford, you’re faced with an even bigger challenge: How do you get the 10% deposit?
