Co-Buying Property – Smart Shortcut or Financial Time Bomb?

Buying property with a sibling or friend can sound like the perfect shortcut into the market — but what happens when goals change, life shifts, or one person wants out? In this episode of The Wealth Guide Podcast, the team is joined by Amit Sharma from Inspired Wealth to unpack the realities of co-buying property and why having the right structure matters just as much as getting into the market itself. From co-ownership deeds and borrowing capacity to future relationships, exit strategies, insurance, and difficult conversations, this episode explores what people often overlook before signing on the dotted line. The conversation dives into the emotional side of co-buying, why treating the arrangement like a business partnership is essential, and how poor planning today can create financial and relationship stress later. Whether you’re considering buying with a sibling, friend, or even parents, this episode highlights why clarity, communication, and professional advice are critical before making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
