Joint ownership of property

Hello all,
Im currently living with my girlfriend in her house.
Im thinking of paying her repayment mortgage off early (16 years remaining), due to the various financial benefits.
My question is this: bearing in mind we are not going to get married, is it possible to have the property deeds, or some other document, written up stating that I own a portion of the house (i.e 33%).
thanks in advance.

The solicitors who were instructed by your partner when she originally made the purchase, will usually hold the property deeds.
Your partner needs to agree to you holding a percentage of the property providing that you pay off the remainder of her mortgage.
If she agrees to this, the you should contact the solicitors who hold the deeds, or contact another solicitors firm for them to ammend the deeds to reflect your percentage ownership.
There will be a fee to pay, but generally not too expensive.0
