Joint Ownership Contract

"I need a Joint Ownership Contract for a residential property in London that I'm purchasing with my sister, with a 60-40 ownership split and specific provisions for maintenance responsibilities, to be completed before March 2025."

Document background
The Joint Ownership Contract is essential when two or more parties wish to formalize their shared ownership of property or assets in England and Wales. This document becomes particularly important in preventing future disputes by clearly defining ownership shares, management responsibilities, and financial obligations. It incorporates requirements from key legislation including the Law of Property Act 1925 and TOLATA 1996, providing a comprehensive framework for co-ownership arrangements. The contract is commonly used in both residential and commercial contexts, offering protection and clarity for all parties involved.
