I'm no lawyer, but i would say that if you're stumping up 28k the sensible thing would be for you to be entitled to a percentage of the property, plus 28k.
If your OH is sensible they should understand you are putting up a sizeable lump of equity and if reasonable i can't see why they wouldn't agree.
It's a tricky one but i'd say a simple agreement giving you 29k plus 50% of the future house value is fair.
If all is good, it is good. But if not it at least means you walk away with what you put in. If things work out well in years to come the agreement doesn't matter, but if not you at least wals with what you brought. Your solicitor should be able to build this in as a no big deal thing at minimal cost.0
