Joint Mortgages

What is joint mortgage?

A joint mortgage is a type of property loan that allows more than one person to borrow funds for property purchase (usually home) and share the repayment responsibility. Normally, the minimum number of joint mortgage borrowers is 2, and the maximum number is 4. It is a conventional mortgage type usually exploited by spouses or couples, but friends or relatives can also buy a property though joint mortgage. Shine Mortgages facilitates lucrative deals on the joint mortgage through the myriad of options available on the panel.

Are all the borrowers equally responsible for the mortgage payments?

No, a joint mortgage may or may not be an equal responsibility of all the included borrowers. It depends on the type of joint mortgage you apply for. According to the type, the percentage of repayment responsibility changes.

MORTGAGE REPAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE JOINT MORTGAGE TYPE

Joint tenancy mortgage – equal share in ownership as well as in mortgage

In joint tenancy, all the included borrowers will own the equal share in the ownership of the property. This fact makes them equally liable towards the liability part too. If two persons have purchased the property with 50% each share, they will own the house equally. Name of all the borrowers appears on the deed. If one of the borrowers dies, the property will go under the ownership of the other borrower.

Tenants in common – not equal share but a certain percentage

This type of joint mortgage facilitates property buying to the borrowers with their desirable share in the ownership as well as in the mortgage. If three people are buying a property, one person may have a 60% share, and the other two may have 20% each. According to the limit of right on the property, the buyers are liable towards the mortgage in the parallel manner.

The instalments of a joint mortgage paid by one person can never be counted as the repayments of the other one. All have to pay their share, and in case of any failure, they will be individually responsible. However, just like joint tenancy, here also, name of all the borrowers get a place on the deed.

Joint borrower sole proprietor mortgage – partners in the mortgage but not in property ownership

It is a less popular version of mortgage but has a significant presence in the market. This type of borrowing allows many applicants to borrow funds to support the main applicant. They bear the responsibility of the repayments, but their names do not get mentioned on the deed. People usually explore this option when, as the family member, they want to support the big purchase of one of their family members. For instance – a son buying a house may get support from his parents, brothers, sisters or other relatives.

At WeLoan.us we suggest the most suitable joint borrower sole proprietor mortgage lenders. After the applicant selects one lender, we send the application to the concerned mortgage provider. When the actual process starts, we ensure the achievement of a lucrative deal through our efficient bargaining. A joint mortgage with the parents can also come in this category of sole proprietor mortgage, but only if they have no share in the ownership.
