How Much Down Payment Do I need to Buy a House or Car?

Down payment - or deposit - is a term used for the purchase of items such as a new car or a house. The down payment is the upfront portion of the total price, and it is usually given in cash at the time of finalizing the transaction. A loan is then required to make up the difference of the full car or house price. Here are some facts on loan down payments or deposits:

• Larger the down payment you make towards your purchase, the less you will have to borrow from the bank or finance company, and the more equity you'll have in your home or car.
• Mortgages taken out with less than a 20% deposit usually require a mortgage insurance policy to secure the loan and offer protection to your lender.
• Down payment amounts vary. For most people buying a house they can vary between 5% and 20% of the total purchase price of the asset.
• For car purchases the deposit can range between 3% and 13% of the vehicles price.
• There is considerably more risk for money lenders when individuals purchase a home as an investment property. Therefore the bank or financial institution may charge a higher interest rate and expect a higher deposit as collateral against the asset.
• If you are a first time home buyer, you should investigate the possibility of getting a government down payment, or deposit, assistance grant.
• You are permitted to use another loan to help towards the downpayment amount required. However some restrictions apply when using a loan as a down payment assistance program, for instance you must disclose any downpayment loan(s) to your lending institution and the monthly payment must be included in the calculation of your affordable budget.
• A mortgage loan guaranteed by the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) currently requires a minimum deposit of only 3%.

Questions the Bank May Ask When Applying for a Home Loan

• Do you have a steady source of income?
• Have you been employed on a regular basis for the past several years with the one employer?
• Do you have a good record of paying your bills? (Credit rating check)
• How much do you owe on current debts like car payments?
• Do you have the money saved for a down payment on the house?
• Does your household budget allow you to cover the monthly mortgage repayments every month?
