    Yes you can put that down.

    I put down 14% and took the full 20% HTB loan when I bought 3 years ago.

    More recently I was looking at putting down 17% deposit, taking 10% HTB, and 73% mortgage.

    As the minimum mortgage is 25%, you can put down upto 55% deposit and have the HTB loan for 20% to make 100% of your purchase price.
