A legal record of
who owns what.
A Deed of Trust (also called a Declaration of Trust) is a legally binding document that sets out the beneficial interests in a property — i.e. who owns what percentage, and what happens in different scenarios.
It is essential when two or more people buy a property together with different deposit contributions, different income levels, or different expectations about what happens if the relationship ends or one party wants to sell.

Unmarried couples
Without a Deed of Trust, the law assumes a 50/50 split regardless of who paid more. If you contributed a larger deposit, you need this document.
Unequal deposits
One of you is putting in £80,000 and the other £20,000? A Deed of Trust records this legally so your contribution is protected if you ever sell.
Family contributions
Parents gifting or lending money towards a deposit? A Deed of Trust can record that contribution and protect it — particularly important if the relationship breaks down.
Without a Deed of Trust, the law treats your property as jointly owned 50/50 — even if you paid 80% of the deposit. A Deed of Trust means your contribution is protected in writing, witnessed, and legally enforceable.
