Our Joint Mortgage Services for Unequal Deposits
At Pearl Lemon Properties, we offer comprehensive solutions to protect your financial contribution in joint mortgages, ensuring clarity and fairness for all parties involved.
Declaration of Trust Setup
A Declaration of Trust is vital for buyers contributing unequal deposits. This legal document outlines each party’s share in the property, ensuring a clear division of equity if the property is sold or if one party wishes to exit the agreement. We facilitate the setup of these agreements with our network of trusted legal professionals, ensuring full protection for your financial input.
Ownership Structure Advice
Choosing the right ownership structure is critical for co-buyers with unequal contributions. We provide expert guidance on whether you should opt for joint tenancy (equal shares) or tenants in common, where ownership reflects each party’s deposit. Our team helps you navigate this decision to align with your long-term goals.
Mortgage Consultation and Strategy
Navigating joint mortgages can be complex, especially when incomes or deposits are uneven. Our mortgage consultants will help you find the best mortgage deal that fits your financial circumstances. We work with leading UK mortgage brokers to secure competitive rates and ensure that all parties are adequately represented in the mortgage agreement.
Legal Assistance for Cohabitation Agreements
In addition to the Declaration of Trust, cohabiting couples or friends may benefit from a Cohabitation Agreement. This document covers broader aspects of living together, such as how household expenses and mortgage repayments are divided. Pearl Lemon Properties partners with experienced legal advisors to draft agreements that offer comprehensive protection for all parties involved.
Post-Purchase Mortgage Reviews
Even after securing a joint mortgage, your financial circumstances may change. Pearl Lemon Properties offers post-purchase reviews to reassess your mortgage terms or ownership shares, helping you adjust the agreement as needed, whether through refinancing or legal adjustments to the Declaration of Trust.

FAQ'S
What is a Declaration of Trust, and why do I need one?
A Declaration of Trust is a legal document that protects each party’s financial contributions in a joint mortgage. It outlines how equity will be divided if the property is sold, ensuring that your deposit is fairly reflected in ownership.
Can we change the ownership shares after the mortgage is set up?
Yes, ownership shares can be adjusted if financial contributions change over time. You may update your Declaration of Trust or modify the mortgage terms to reflect any new contributions.
What happens if one person wants to sell their share in the property?
If one person wants to sell their share, the Declaration of Trust governs how the property is divided and sold. The other party can buy out their share, or the property can be sold, with proceeds divided according to ownership shares.
Can Pearl Lemon Properties help with legal documentation?
Yes, we work with trusted legal professionals to help you set up a Declaration of Trust, Cohabitation Agreement, or any other necessary legal documents to protect your investment in a joint mortgage.
