Our joint mortgage service for friends buying together
Share to buy first launched in 2004 with a proposition that, at the time, was regarded as radical: that friends who might otherwise be flatmates could take out a mortgage together. Since then, buying with friends has become an established route onto the property ladder for many first time buyers and we are proud to have helped thousands of people take out joint mortgages up and down the country. Our services:
- Exclusive mortgages for friends buying property together that are not available anywhere else, such as our fee-free Share to Buy Exclusive with Britannia that will take not just one or two, but three or four incomes into account.
- In addition, we have access to the whole of the market including the 'high street' names and specialist providers, and our focus on shared mortgages has given us the experience and knowledge of how different lenders will treat friends buying together.
- Finally, when you receive your mortgage offer we will provide the option of a free and comprehensive legal agreement to cover the key issues of joint ownership with friends, setting out important points such as each person's share in the property and what happens if one of the parties wishes to leave (for example, they can rent out their room). See below for information on our panel of solicitors with specialist knowledge of joint ownership and the issues surrounding joint mortgages between friends.
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 friends, such as what happens if someone wants to leave, or if you are already in a co-buying relationship and need legal advice, 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.
