Shared Ownership Protection

The Shared Ownership Protection uses a Document assembly and drafting system (System). The System enables you to draft the Shared Ownership Protection (SOP) which is to be used when buying a property with more than one person. It does not provide legal advice nor does it represent a legal service. It is designed to collect relevant information and data to assist in the preparation of a legal Document. It is designed for use by persons who do not have complex legal requirements. 

When using the System you will be asked a series of questions and the answers you give will dictate the content of the SOP produced. You and all parties executing the SOP alone are responsible for ensuring that the answers or any information that you give, is correct (this includes information in relation to the identity of any parties or signatories, their age or capacity). The System relies on you providing the correct information. 

You must carefully check that the SOP produced, fully reflects all the parties wishes. If it does not, you should not execute it. It is your responsibility to ensure that the SOP is properly executed in accordance with the instructions that are provided to all the parties.
 
Before executing the SOP we advise you to seek appropriate legal advice so that you are fully aware of the terms you are agreeing to within the SOP.
 

By using our SOP service you agree that:


Share A Mortgage is not a legal advisor and does not advise you as to the suitability of this document for your particular circumstances, this document is sold to you on the understanding that you will obtain appropriate legal advice before using it and you are responsible for checking that it reflects your own particular circumstances. SAM Conveyancing are able to recommend specialist solicitors who are familiar with this document who can advise you on its use.
You understand that you are all liable for the full Mortgage Repayment if any of the Owners do not pay their Share of Mortgage Repayment.
Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
You understand Mortgage Repayments can go up or down when the Mortgage Interest Rate isn’t fixed, Mortgage Repayments need to be made in full otherwise your Property could be Repossessed.
You understand that the Property Value can go up or down and any Profit or Loss on the Property is shared in accordance with the Final Share of Property percentage calculated by using the Share of Property Formula set out in the SOP.
You enter into this Agreement knowingly and willingly under no coercion from any Owner, third party or any other entity or circumstance.

Your SOP will be stored by us for a maximum period of six years. After this period you may not be able to obtain access to your SOP, and they may be deleted. We reserve the right to levy a reasonable recovery charge in respect of any SOP that is able to be recovered. We reserve the right to store your SOP offline and levy a reasonable recovery charge for you to access it again.
 
We will not take any responsibility for any of the following:
 
a) Verifying your answers or any information given by you when using the Shared Ownership Protection
b) Proofreading any data you have input for typographical errors
c) Any alterations made by you or on your behalf to a Document once it has been made available to you
d) Supervising or checking the due and proper execution of any Document
e) Any use of a Document or execution of a Document by a person or entity outside of the jurisdiction or country it is drafted to be used in
f) Any adverse consequences if you use any Document without taking appropriate legal advice as to its suitability for your particular circumstances
g) Undertaking any future review of any Document or to provide any advice, legal or otherwise, as to the continuing effectiveness for legal, taxation or any other purpose of any Document
