1. I have a list of items that are great deposits and some which need clarification.

When buying a home, can we use:

a). Cash as a deposit?

b). Are cheques still used?

c). A bank transfer?

d). Cash in foreign currency?

e). Bank cheque?

f). Deposit Bond?

g). Bonds?

h). Gold or silver bullion?

i). TAB account?

j). Bitcoin or other crypto currency?

k). Share dividends?

l). An object like a car, watch, a bag of cocaine etc?

m). A winning lottery ticket transfer?

n). Rely on the government incentives as the deposit.

 

2. So when we choose to do a 'bank transfer' can the money be transferred from someone else's account, say the bank of Mum and Dad instead of the name of the actual purchaser/s?

3. As most people have a limit when doing a bank transfer from their own account, when buying a property at auction, how much do we need to come up with on the day?

   a). How do we get the remaining deposit to the agent?

   b). How long do we have to get the remaining deposit to the agent?

4. What happens to the deposit while we are waiting on settlement?

5. What is a section 27?
