OTHER DEPOSIT OPTIONS?
Bank Guarantees are rarely available for use as 10% Property Deposits.

Unlike Deposit Bonds all Bank Guarantees must be secured by an equivalent cash amount or mortgage over real estate with sufficient equity. Access to Bank Guarantees can take weeks often not matching the timeframe for contracts to exchange.
Refinancing or Bridging Finance – Time Consuming & Uneconomic This is the most expensive and time-consuming way to raise a 10% deposit.
