For any who have bought an existing home in TV, what amount of deposit was requested, offered by you, negotiated or finally accepted. Many thanks.

My experience is to offer a very substantial deposit ,8-10 thousand and a fair offer if you want to really buy. Everybody will give a thousand deposit, yours separates you from the rest .
