    Is this possible

    I am considering going tenant in common with adult daughter with a 3 bed home.Her 1/3 me 2/3. She doesn't earn enough to go 100%

    Q.Can i set up my 2/3 as I would a normally a IP {I already have IPs}and received rent from 2 rooms.

    Her 1/3 would be her main residents.

    Q could she get FHOG ?


    I plan to as her income improves or her debt decrease to sell her 1/3 and then 1/3. At the current market price etc. And i pay CGT and stamp etc.

    A: It is possible provided you address the risks of coownership.

    Check out the links below and BEFORE you do anything contact your lender and see if they'll lend you under such an arrangement.

    Note that not all lendes will play ball so if your own bank says no don't give up, there will be 1 which will lend the money but apply for a loan preapproval before you puchase anything.
    It will give you peace of mind plus it will speed up the loan settlement process later.

    Also, you should know that you'll both be liable for the whole loan and not only for your portion so if one of you 2 defaults, the other will have to come to the party and repay the loan.

    Grace,
    There is a lender that offers a loan that suits tenants in common so the obligation is only on your portion, not for the full loan.
    Alternatives are going guarantor for your daughter and there are a number of lenders that offer the family guarantee/pledge for full or part loan.

    I don't specialise in FHOG and it is a little state based rules but a guarantee may be a better way to go to so your daughter can obtain the full FHOG and then you don't run into the issue of CGT, stamp duty etc on subsequent 'sale'. The property is revalued over time and the guarantees released.

    Good luck
    Greg
