A Deposit Bond is used in lieu of a cash deposit when the purchaser does not have the cash to pay as a deposit (such as they are borrowing 95 or 100% of the price) or for any reason that the purchaser does not want to pay a cash deposit. This could be that the purchaser is also selling a property and all their assets are tied up in their sale.
A deposit Bond is a guarantee that the 10% deposit will be available at settlement or to the Vendor if the purchaser defaults under the contract.
Deposit Bonds are becoming more common practice these days.
