Lol whatchu talkin about Alex. I'm sure he knows that, but his talking about possibly buying a house with a friend and having the title

But that was soley dude to not contributing as initial deposit.

Alex just said in numbers what i meant.

Work it out as a % of the deposit vs house purchase price and then an allocation of share/value from there. It's really not difficult.

I'm looking at doing a similar thing with my brother in 2012. It'll be built around not only deposit but also how much who pays off each month etc as i earn significantly more. It's all easy to workout if you both approach it from a logical standpoint. If you can't do that, then forget buying a place together.

And ye - wimmins, always the sticking point. Hence when getting somewhere that is 2bdr, make sure it is nice and SIZEABLE. Get a 2bdr shoebox and then one has a mrs that moves in, 6 months later there is no room to move and people be ready to kill each other.

Deal goes to shit and you both lose out because of it falling apart.

I would do it but 2 things for sure, put your name on the title and get a contract, just make sure its noted on the contract that he paid the deposit and he owns an extra percentage depending on how much the deposit is, if you ever go for any sort of loan out side the house then equity in the house is an asset but if your name is not on the title then i doubt the banks would accept it.

It could well end up in a shit fight but if he is a very good mate and you trust him then go for it, i would also take nismoids advice on plenty of room, expect there to be 4 people living there at times.

If after a few years you come to the conclusiuon that its not work out then sell the house (or one buys the other half) and split the equity.

Yeh it can deffs can work just gotta pick the right person.. Spose it's no more risky than any other two ppl buying house... So much divorce these days you wouldn't believe it

they say the divorce rate is 50% and climbing, probably close to that with long term mates too but you dont have to shell out for a ring and a wedding and keep paying for annoying little shit heads that you only get to see every second weekend if your lucky lol, and no i dont have kids or an ex wife!

Keep in mind that in a partner situation the first home owners grant is used by both people when a property is purchased, and you only get it once.

I assume it would be similar when purchasing with a friend.

Good luck!

Yeh working in real estate opened my eyes to divorce rates. Wouldn't have believed it otherwise to be honest.

Muztek anyreason u don't want name on title ?

No reason really, i havnvt looked into it much really yet, so i thought a house can only be under 1 persons name. so from this thread ive gathered you can put a house under 2 peoples name?

and my mate is looking at a town house at the moment and were thinking of buying off plans so save the stamp duty etc but yer im going to go have a chat with a lawyer

It's just like a rental, you can have as many names as you want.

As Gareth said, you will lose the first home buyers, which honestly isn't "really" a problem.

To then quality for it you would need to purchase another place, move into it etc (or fake it, and have someone staying there off-books, another risk).

Basically getting a 1st Home Buyers grant (for you both, over 2 places) isn't going to happen unless you dodge it up in the short term.

So what you would also do as part of the agreement, is split the "value" of the FHB between the two of you as you are both effectively giving up your eligebility.

He could argue he wants full value due to him supplying the deposit but that's something you'll need to workout between yourselves.

Issue down the track there after you need to then think about is furnishings and what not. Again it can get "petty" if things go sour in a few years time with regards to who owns what, who brought what to the house etc.

Same goes for any spending on property improvement and so on.

Sounds like a mine field, but approached logically and everyone keeps honest records - it should be straight forward

Yeh can be in multiple names best to split the fhog, saving on stamp duty will be a big help whatever % deposit he stumps up should be equivalent to his totall greater % as that money would otherwise grow exponentially plus the interst he is saving u both over the duration of the mortgage so if he pays 10% and everything else is paid 50/50 I'd except 60/40 split in the future if it were me

Have been through this recently. Tennants in Common as Ruffel's said is the more common way of doing this. Mine was a simple 4 pager but had a few other clauses in there including minimum sale price, permission to reside in the property etc (is rented out at the moment).

Few tricks can be done with the mortgage too so you can each have your own subset of the overall. Definately recommend getting a lawyer to do it. Max $1000, any more and it is getting too complex and they are spending too much time on it.

Don't forget all the other things a bank looks for though, savings history, rental history etc.

    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
