Deposit Bonds
Struggling to come up with cash for a property deposit at contract exchange?
​
A deposit bond could be the solution in Richmond. Instead of paying the deposit upfront, the bond acts as a financial guarantee to the vendor that the amount will be paid at settlement. It helps buyers who are waiting on funds or want to keep their cash ready until settlement.
Richmond Residential can assist you in exploring deposit bond options, helping you move forward with your purchase with greater flexibility.
How Deposit Bonds Work
In a property purchase, the deposit is usually required when contracts are exchanged. If you don’t have cash available at that point, a deposit bond can be used instead.
​
Here’s what happens: once you apply, a bond provider assesses your financial position and the details of the property purchase. If approved, they issue a deposit bond certificate, which is sent to the vendor or their solicitor. This certificate guarantees that your deposit will be paid at settlement.
​
The bond itself doesn’t involve the transfer of money at exchange; it’s purely a guarantee. At settlement, you still pay the full purchase price, including the deposit amount, in the usual way.
​
At Richmond Residential, we guide you through this process as part of your broader finance arrangements. We’ll help you determine whether a deposit bond is suitable, assist with the requirements and connect you with a trusted provider.
