Question: how much cash do you need to buy a house uk?
Answer: In the current market you'll usually need a deposit of at least 5% of a property's value to get a mortgage. A mortgage lender would then lend you the remaining 95% of the property's value. So, if you wanted to buy a £150,000 property, you would need to save up at least £7,500 and borrow £142,500.
