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

To sum up: Joint tenants must receive their property interest simultaneously and from the same source with an equal share and equal rights to possess the entire property. By contrast, tenants in common can receive their interest at different times and from disparate legal sources and don't have to possess equal shares.

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.

Disadvantages of Joint Property Ownership Co-owners must make decisions collectively, which can lead to conflicts and disagreements regarding property management, maintenance, and use. Individual preferences may be compromised to accommodate the interests of all co-owners.

Joint tenants – each owner owns an undivided interest in the whole property, but if the interest is sold, the joint tenancy ends and the owners become tenants in common. If one of the joint tenants dies, the deceased person's interest automatically goes to the other joint tenant.

In New York, there are three ways to hold property with a co-owner: tenancy by the entirety, joint tenancy, and tenants in common.

Joint tenancy is most common among married couples because it helps property owners avoid probate.

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.

(b) A disposition of real property to a husband and wife creates in them a tenancy by the entirety, unless expressly declared to be a joint tenancy or a tenancy in common.

In the case of joint owners, each owner generally has the right to lease out property that is jointly owned. This means that one owner can enter into a lease agreement with a tenant without the permission of the other co-owner(s).

Co-ownership might entail more complex legal agreements, specifically outlining each party's rights and responsibilities. Joint property ownership usually involves a simpler, more standardised agreement.
