Sole mortgage, but joint ownership

Is there a way to do this? I've had an offer accepted on a house, with my deposit of 62% and a mortgage of 22%. My partner will contribute the other 16% but doesn't want to be on the mortgage because she might want to buy a place herself soon.
However we don't want her 16% to be a gift, we'd like it noted in a declaration of trust, so that in the unfortunate event of us splitting up, she gets back her contribution. She'll also contribute half of the mortgage payments and purchase and running costs; this also to be noted in the declaration of trust.
Is it necessary to declare ourselves tenants in common? In which case will she have to be on the mortgage too?

Doubtful your lender will allow sole mortgage with joint ownership - they will likely ask for a letter that states your partner has no financial interest in the property if you want to continue with a sole mortgage.
If its just the saving of the additional stamp duty I think they will have to pay it, as you cannot have a finance interest in a property with a declaration of trust and lie to the lender.0 -
Only HSBC allows more owners than borrowers.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Would the HSBC option be the indirect charge? Having a little trouble grasping how that works. Can someone explain in layman's terms? Thanks0
