Got a legal query on joint mortgages?

Contact our panel of solicitors with specialist knowledge of joint ownership cases, such as friends and family members buying together.

Our track record

Since launching share to buy in 2004, we have helped hundreds of people to buy with family members right across the UK. These have included non-residing parents acting as a guarantor for a son or daughter; entire families clubbing together to buy a property for them all to live in; brothers and sisters taking out a joint mortgage; offspring buying shares in their parents' home and even children helping their parents on to the property ladder. Key benefits of our service:


How we could help you

  • We have access to the whole of the mortgage market.
  • We provide a free legal agreement covering key issues such as shares in the property. This is optional but is well worth considering for documenting the major points of your arrangement.
  • Most importantly, we have built up considerable experience of the various schemes available for parent/offspring mortgages and have arranged guarantor mortgages; joint mortgages between different generations; and even enabled first time buyers to purchase a share in their family home.

Next Steps

If you have had an offer accepted on a specific property or are looking at properties in earnest you may wish to submit a no fee, no-obligation agreement in principle application to see how we could assist. Alternatively, if you have any queries on the legal side of buying with family members, such as the legal position of a guarantor, please contact our partner solicitors who specialise in joint ownership legal services. There is no charge for sending an initial query and no obligation to use our partner solicitor.
