My Name Is Bond, Deposit Bond…

I caught up with Kerry Henry, Director at Aussie Bonds, to explore the world of Deposit Bonds, which is a little known, but useful alternative to passing a 10% cash transfer at exchange of contract to purchase a property.

Kerry takes us through the various flavours of the bonds, how they work, and the application and settlement processes. Depending on your personal circumstances this might be a solution offering some advantages over a cash deposit transfer.
