Buying a property with a friend or family member can be a minefield. You need to be sure sharing is actually right for you, and that means understanding both the benefits and the potential pitfalls before you commit.
We've created this site to help you make an informed decision. We explore what happens if things go wrong, like if you fall out with your co-owner or someone wants to move out. We also explain what mortgage lenders often don't mention about shared property ownership.
Whether you're thinking of buying together or already own a property jointly, we cover the practical and legal issues around sharing. Our aim is to give you peace of mind that you've thought through all the angles before making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
