Shared ownership package features


Independent Financial Advice


Not many firms of solicitors have their own in house Independent Financial Services department. Luckily Simpson Millar LLP is one of them that does. Our financial advisors can offer you independent financial advice on a whole range of subjects in an effort to improve the wealth of you and your family member or friend. Another benefit of co-buying is that as a pair you can borrow more by combining your annual salaries. You will require mortgage advice to find out how much you and your co-buyer can borrow, you may also want to find out about mortgage payment protection insurance and life insurance. Here at Simpson Millar LLP we can give you independent advice on all of this, which is included in our low cost package.

Declarations of Trust


Whether you are buying with a friend, a family member or with someone you have met through a co-buying website or scheme, a Declaration of Trust is necessary to set the shares and act as a co-habitation agreement. A document like this will help in the instance of potential disputes and will also set down what will be done in the possible event of someone not paying the mortgage, deciding to move out or have someone else move in.


As a co-buyer, you do not want to run the risk of being left to pay the mortgage alone or face repossession. At Simpson Millar LLP we will draw up these contracts for you to avoid any unnecessary difficulties down the line. With your help, we will draft comprehensive legal agreements to regulate the ownership of the property. These agreements will set out things such as:


  • Who will pay the mortgage and bills
  • Who will pay maintenance on the property
  • What will happen if one person leaves or cannot afford their share of the mortgage
  • Who will pay for home improvement costs

Each Declaration is tailored to suit the co-owner’s particular needs and circumstances, you call the shots; we just make everything legal and provide clear advice throughout.


You should also consider writing or reviewing a will when purchasing property which is something we can also assist you with.
