This blog shows you how to buy a property even if you can’t get a mortgage, or if you don’t have a deposit.
We have all been in the situation of wanting to buy a dream property, and not having the deposit, or not being able to get a mortgage.
You will need a special contract between you and your fellow property purchaser, in order to protect you both. Only one party’s name(s) can be on the title deeds, and that is the mortgage owner, so the person who supplies the deposit, particularly needs this special contract for their protection.
This blog describes such a contract. The contract is called a “Declaration of Trust“.
The main concepts of a legal contract are described between the two parties who are buying a property together. In this specific example, one party is providing the cash for the deposit (this party is called the “Beneficiary”), and one party is providing the mortgage (this party is called the “Owner”).
The property ownership can be split any way that suits you.
We paid solicitors £780 for this contract in 2016, and have used it for a joint property purchase ourselves.

Why prepare a property?
If you want it to fly off the shelf (selling or renting), with the minimum of effort and cost, and for the maximum price, prepare it so that it is shown off in the best possible light. This is called “showcasing” or “staging”.
What is showcasing?
This means highlighting the room’s function, making it look light, spacious, and attractive, without heavy furniture. The idea is to go for a look that seems functional, but does not necessarily have to be practical. When selling or renting a property, you don’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive, heavy, bulky furniture and you want it to look occupied, accessorised and have an aspirational look.
The rules:
1 Before viewings make it as light as possible:
2 Furniture should be as minimal, small, and as light as possible:
3 Design:
The test:
A London, or outer London room or property, should be rented out within a week, otherwise you are doing something wrong.
