How Much Deposit Do I Need Before I Purchase A Real Estate!

 This will depend on the saving you have and  how much savings you are allocating towards your property purchased, allowing for what type of costs you will be incurring.

There is costs previously mentioned before: solicitors costs, Stamp duty, moving in costs and depending how much you borrow, you may be asked to take out mortgage insurance, based on the level of borrowings required against the purchase price.

So for example if you are purchasing a property for $430,000 in NSW the stamp duty cost is currently $14,840.00.
