Deposit Bond

Home Deposit Bonds — Buy Property Without Tying Up Cash

A deposit bond is a secure financial guarantee that can be used instead of a cash deposit when purchasing property — whether it’s your next home, land, investment property, or an off-the-plan purchase.

What a Deposit Bond Is

A deposit bond acts as a guarantee to the seller that your property deposit will be paid at settlement, even if you don’t have the full cash deposit available at the time you sign the contract. It is not a loan — you pay a one-off fee for the bond, and the full purchase price (including the deposit amount) is paid at settlement.

Deposit bonds are widely accepted by real estate agents, conveyancers and vendors, and can be presented in place of a traditional cash deposit when signing a contract.
