Read how Ross, Chandler, Monica and Rachel shared a mortgage and each paid £506 a month
Ross, Chandler, Monica and Rachel each contributed £7,500 to create a £30,000 deposit. They had all been renting a property from their landlord costing them £2,000 per month. They subsequently had an offer accepted on a £300,000, 4-bedroom terraced property in North London.
They agreed to share the property and bills equally between them.
With a 10% deposit of £30,000 they arranged a mortgage for the other 90% at a rate of 4.3% APR over 25 years and the monthly payments were £1,474 (Natwest Bank – 2 Year Fixed Rate*). They added this to the bills (council tax, utilities, insurances), which were £550 per month; so the total monthly cost was £2,024. Split equally they paid £506 each.
When the property sold for £340,000** 2 years later, they each received 25% of the £40,000 increase plus their original deposit of £7,500. Ross now has £17,500 and plans on buying a place of his own whilst the others have decided to buy another place together.

** Property values can go up or down. In the event of the property value decreasing, Jane would be liable to pay her share of the reduction when the property is sold.
