Morggage with friend

I am going to get a mortgage with a friend for 20k, as an investment and rent it out.

I cant do it myself, as my credit rating is so bad.

Can we put it in both are names, so we get 50/50 cut?
If no is it possible for a solicitor to write up we both get 50/50.

The credit check has to be done in his name

thanks

    How are you going to get a mortgage without being credit checked?

    Drop this idea immediately.

    It does not make sense on a number of levels.

    I would do it myself but cant because of my credit rating.

    So make sure everything's in writing, then pout everything my friends name?

    It might make sense to you, but that's only because you don't understand the implications of what you want to do.

    Sort out your credit rating then get a loan.

    Why do you want to get into more debt when you've already shown you're not responsible with money?

    All in all it sounds like a good way for you to lose your friend.

    If your name isn't on the mortgage and deeds then you're not entitled to a penny. You can't be on one and not the other. Save up and wait til you can do it yourself, it's not worth losing a friend for.

    The reason it doesn't make sense: if everything is in your friend's name, then everything belongs to your friend. That means it's his investment, not yours.
