Tenants in Common
Co-ownership with defined shares, inheritable by will. No survivorship.
What is Tenants in Common?
Tenants in common is a co-ownership structure where each owner holds a defined share (e.g. 50/50, 70/30, or any split) and can pass their share via their will — unlike joint tenancy, there's no right of survivorship.
Why it matters for you
Useful for blended families (where spouses want to leave their share to children from previous relationships), unequal financial contributions (where one party contributes more deposit), and business partnerships. Always get specific legal and tax advice on the ownership structure before signing.
