Deposit Bonds and Bank Guarantees

Benefits of a Deposit Bond or Bank Guarantee for the Purchaser;

The main purpose of a Deposit Bond is to enable the Purchaser (you) to provide to the Vendor (Seller) a Guarantee that the deposit amount (usually 10%) will be paid at settlement. This is ideal for long settlements or "off the plan" purchasers which take up to 2 years to be completed.

The alternative to the above Deposit Bond is a Bank Guarantee, however rather than paying a once only premium with a Deposit Bond based on the amount and term a Bank Guarantee can be an option depending on your circumstances.

Additionally, a Bank Guarantee requires security which is usually covered against adequate equity in any existing property you may have or against a Term Deposit.

Other benefits included for both these options which may depend on your circumstances are;

• You don't need to go to the expanse and time delay in arranging bridging finance.
• Convenience when purchasing property.
• It's inexpensive and quick (usually within 24 hours of loan approval). When property is selected, signing of contract can be immediate.
