As for the deposit amount, it entirely depends on the builder. My builder asked for 15% deposit, when I chose completion mortgage. That's the norm. Other builders may ask less, as a promotion tactic.
If your bank offers you a mortgage of 80% of the house value, you have to take another 15% out of your pocket. (If the appraisal value was less than your purchase price, you need to have even more cash in hand for completion)

Landmark's deposit is 5000 dollars. The deposit will return to you only when you cannot get mortgage. If your downpayment is 5 %, you have to pay all the 5 % to landmark one time. If your downpayment is 20%, you can pay to them in three times. The deposit will include in the first payment.
