Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

FAQ

Co-ownership is a legal concept in a business where two or more co-owners share the legal ownership of property. For the concept of co-ownership in different legal codes, see: Concurrent estate, for co-ownership in the common law system.

Joint ownership is a concept in property law that refers to the ownership of property by two or more people. There are four main types of joint ownership: joint tenancy with rights of survivorship ; tenancy by the entirety ; tenancy in common and community property .

Co-ownership, particularly models like fractional ownership, tends to provide more tailored experiences that align with individual preferences and lifestyles. Joint property ownership, on the other hand, requires complete alignment among all owners.

Community Property is a co-ownership model designated for married couples. It stipulates that all assets acquired during the marriage, including real property, are community property unless expressly acquired in another manner. Each spouse is considered to own an undivided one-half interest in the property.

Joint Tenancies are co-ownership interest in real property. A Joint Tenancy must include these four unities: Unity of interest: The interest of each owner is equal. Unity of time: The interest of the owners is acquired at the same time. Unity of possession: The owners have the right of survivorship.

The flexibility offered by co-ownership of properties can cater to various needs and preferences. Joint property ownership typically requires all owners to have similar needs and wants, limiting customisation.

Within this document, the joint owners confirm how they will share the beneficial interest on the title: they are to hold the property on trust for themselves as joint tenants - this means the beneficial interest is held 100% jointly (no separate shares) so your split is an equal share.

Control Issues. Since every owner has a co-equal share of the asset, any decision must be mutual. You might not be able to sell or mortgage a home if your co-owner does not agree. Creditor Issues. If a co-owner has outstanding debts, their creditors could seize an interest in your home or bank account.

Joint tenancy is a way for two or more people to own property in equal shares so that when one of the joint tenants dies, the property can pass to the surviving joint tenant(s) without having to go through probate court.
