The challenge: Buying a property without a cash deposit
Peter and Natalie (their names have been changed to protect client’s privacy) are long-term clients of David. As their family needs evolved, they were ready to upsize into a larger home with more living and outdoor spaces.
They found the right property and needed to move quickly to secure it, without disrupting their broader financial position.
Although Peter and Natalie are in a great financial situation and have a loan approved for the purchase, the 10% cash deposit requirement was a blocker to their purchase. Their funds were tied up in equity in the property they recently sold and the early release of the sale deposit was not possible, as the buyer had used a deposit bond to secure their purchase.
Delaying exchange risked losing Peter and Natalie’s new home.
The solution: Using a deposit bond as their property deposit
David immediately identified a deposit bond as the most efficient solution to bridge the deposit gap.
Instead of restructuring the deal or forcing clients to liquidate cash reserves, which can take days, if not weeks, David recommended a short-term deposit bond, positioning it as part of the overall finance strategy for the purchase.
“As part of the finance process, we know early whether a client has access to cash. If they don’t, we recommend a Deposit Power bond. We’ve used Deposit Power exclusively for over 15 years because the service is second to none!”
A successful outcome: Peter and Natalie secured their new home with ease and speed
A short-term deposit bond (for up to 6 months) for a small one-off fee of $1,845 guaranteed the full deposit to the seller, allowing Peter and Natalie to exchange contracts immediately while keeping their cash reserves intact until settlement.
- Deposit hurdle removed
- Exchange contracts quickly
- Align the timing of the property sale and purchase seamlessly.
