Co Ownership Advice needed

HI

I am am looking to buy a property in the region of 800000. The bank and co ownership said they would both be able to lend me the 40000 50/50 split based on my circumstances.

My question is that I am only temporary in my work and am going back to school although i know i can still keep up with repayments during this time.

I have 6 months payslips that i can give co ownership but theres a section on the forum for the employer to fill out.

I know this is not very legal but if i filled out the employer section myself would co ownership contact my employer themselves.

    So how is composing false information going to help your application.

    More than likely they will check

    DONT!

    Also have a read here re pitfalls of co ownership.

    Not a NI case but I believe the principle is the same.
  • Thanks folks,

    Think I will have to put it off a year and private rent just for a while.

    Is that eighty thousand or eight hundred thousand - it's not clear ? This is, however, clearly fraud.

    Maybe have a look at OwnCo instead - three year's tenancy in a new build property then an option to purchase either outright of using co-ownership at the end of the term. You get a 25% rebate on the rent you've paid at the end of the three years. More info here: http://www.housingadviceni.org/rent-buy

  • Hi everyone.. needing some advice

    I am keen to apply for co ownership but I've just read "need to be employed for 6 months by same employer"

    I just got a new job and had planned to apply once I received my 3rd payslip.. does anyone know if this is acceptable?? Or are they really strict about same employer?

    Thanks!
