If you are buying a property with a friend or as part of an unmarried couple, it might be wise to make a Declaration of Trust.

A Declaration of Trust can clarify:

  • the amount of the deposit each person will pay
  • the amount that each person will contribute towards mortgage payments
  • the amount that each person will contribute towards fees
  • and the portion of the property that each person will own.

Macks Solicitors’ residential property team can provide expert advice on Declarations of Trust.
