We all know how difficult it is to get on the property ladder these days. One increasingly popular solution for first-time buyers is to co-buy a property with friends.
In fact, a recent survey found that 60% of millennials would take out a multiple person mortgage with friends.
Pause for thought
Buying a property is a huge commitment, so here are some factors you might want to consider before taking the plunge:
- Try renting first to make sure you're suited to sharing the same space
- Make sure you understand the two ownership types (joint tenancy or tenancy in common) and choose the option that's right for you
- Consider drafting a cohabitation agreement, to avoid disagreements over who owns what assets.
