Finance FAQs

Do I need a deposit?

A deposit can improve your rate and reduce instalments, but it’s not always required.

Fixed vs linked rate?

Fixed keeps repayments stable. Linked tracks the repo rate—instalments can move up or down.

Can I buy from a private seller?

Yes. We support private sales and handle the admin to keep things safe and compliant.
