Declaration of Trust | £1,000
A Declaration of Trust (also called a Deed of Trust) formally records how much each person has contributed to a property purchase, how future costs will be shared, and how proceeds will be divided if the property is sold or one owner leaves. It prevents misunderstandings and protects everyone’s interests.
When it helps
- Buying with unequal deposits or mortgage payments
- Parents helping children onto the property ladder
- Friends or business partners buying together
- Couples wishing to divide buy-to-let income for tax efficiency
- Anyone contributing to a property they are not named on
What’s included
