DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SIZE OF DEPOSIT REQUIRED TO GET ON THE CANTERBURY HOUSING LADDER !
With just over 40% of 18 to 40-year-olds having saved nothing towards their deposit for their first Canterbury home, many aspiring Canterbury first time buyers underestimate the size of the deposit they need to get on the housing ladder.
Yet you would also be surprised how many first time buyers overestimate the deposit they need.
There are plenty of lenders that are offering 90% mortgages, meaning you only need to save for a 10% deposit.
