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)

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.
