Mortgage question - Buying with partner

Hi,
My partner and I have been together for three years and I like us to buy a house and live together some day soon. 

 I will be a first time buyer, he already owns another property. Say we want to get a £600K property, he can pay 75% £450K by cash, and I will stump up the remaining 25% £150K. Is it simply just me getting a mortgage of £150K by myself (my salary is £50K pre-tax) - whilst the house is in both of our name with equity based on that percentage share? 

Any advise on the best way to get around this will be much appreciated.
