Investing for parents & guardians
► Do you want to help a loved one buy their own home?
You might have thought you were not in a position to help, but with Joint Equity you probably are.
You can become the Investor for your loved one. Joint Equity allows you to help them buy a home, whilst managing the relationship and protecting both your interests.
► You can put up both deposits!
As the Parent or Guardian of a new Joint Equity Owner, we will allow you to contribute all of the Investors and Owners deposit.
This is a unique opportunity, based on your relationship with your owner, and not available to other Joint Equity Partners.
► You could decide to help even more, by not requiring the rent portion to be paid.
You can do this whether you are a cash or mortgage Investor
Of course, if you are a mortgaged Investor, you will have to pay your mortgage payments to the lender.
Also, you will have to pay a small management charge to Joint Equity (see typical costs).
► Why can’t I just lend them the money?
There’s no reason why you couldn’t lend the money to your aspiring Owner, however there are a few things to consider:

·
|
Families fall out over money. It’s sad but true, but with Joint Equity you have a formal contract that protects both your interests, and clearly sets out what benefits accrue to both parties, the procedure in event of a sale, etc. In essence, it’s peace of mind.

Your aspiring Owner may be uncomfortable accepting a ‘charity’ hand-
|
|
·
|
You have to consider the worst case scenario – that your Owner fails to pay their rent & mortgage payment. Without the security provided by Joint Equity, this can be the most difficult situation to overcome.
