    Except that cohab 3 will have spent more on interest due to owing more on the mortgage.

    And they will also have had the benefit of living in a house which presumably cohabitants 1 & 2 could not afford on their own, even with their deposits (that is a big presumption so apologies if I am wrong, no offence intended)
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    I was responding to post 51, the one before mine. Did you think I was responding to something else?

    How is this being taken into account though? It looks like the split is just "3 is responsible for 49% of the loan therefore pays 49% of each monthly payment" but that results in him paying substantially less than 1 and 2.

    No apologies needed, that's correct.

    3 pays 83333.33 + interest over term
    2 pays 43333.33 + interest over term + 40000
    1 pays 43333.33 + interest over term + 40000

    3 will have to pay interest on the £40k they are not stumping up for the deposit. The other two will not.

    Unless I'm missing something it looks like Cohabitants 1 and 2 are getting a bad deal out of this. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you hold the investment to term each cohab has spent £83,333 absolutely and getting a third each of equity. But 1 and 2's payments were frontloaded so their accumulated value should be higher than 3's and they should be given a higher share of the equity. This will hold at any time during the term so essentially 1 and 2 are subsidising 3 even though they're the ones coming up with the initial capital.
    Where would this accumulation come from though? The 40000 deposits are not earning interest.
  • Sorry if I'm completely misunderstanding this. But from 3.:
    3. THE COHABITANTS agree that each is responsible for their respective shares of the mortgage payments as follows (which may be adjusted in accordance with clause 1.4):
    
Cohabitant No. 1: 25.4902 Percent

    Cohabitant No. 2: 25.4902 Percent
    
Cohabitant No. 3: 49.0196 Percent

    So if we use the repayment schedule in your linked spreadsheets of £783.36pm for 300 months, to me this says 1&2 pay £40000 now + £199.68pm, 3 pays £0 now + £384.00 pm. Is that wrong?

    Exactly!

    That's correct.

    Not sure what you mean by 'exactly'. Where would this suggested accumulation come from?
