How It Works
From housemates
to homeowners.
CoHomed guides your group from “should we buy together?” through to settlement and beyond. Here’s how each step works.
Create your group
Download the app, sign up, and create a co-ownership group. Invite your housemates — you can have 2, 3, or 4 people in a group.
- Everyone fills in their financial profile (income, savings, deposit contribution)
- The app suggests an ownership split based on what each person can contribute
- You agree on the split together — it doesn't have to be equal
- All of this stays private until you choose to share it with a broker
Get your paperwork sorted
CoHomed generates the legal documents you need — co-ownership agreements, expense agreements, and mortgage contribution deeds — from the details your group has entered.
- Documents are populated with your group's actual names, ownership percentages, and financial details
- The co-ownership agreement covers everything: ownership split, decision-making, what happens if someone wants to leave, default protections, and dispute resolution
- We strongly recommend having a solicitor review the documents before signing — they're drafted as a starting point, not a substitute for legal advice
Check your eligibility
The eligibility wizard checks every government scheme your group might qualify for — and tells you exactly how much you could save.
- First Home Owner Grant ($30,000 in QLD for new homes)
- Stamp duty concessions (potentially $0 in QLD)
- First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI)
- Boost to Buy (government contributes up to 30%)
- The checker flags any issues — like one member not being a first home buyer — before they become problems
Connect with a broker
When your group is ready, CoHomed generates a broker handover pack and connects you with mortgage brokers who have experience with co-ownership applications.
- The handover pack includes your group structure, financial summary, ownership split, and eligibility results
- Brokers in our marketplace are experienced with tenants-in-common applications
- You choose the broker — CoHomed doesn't recommend one over another
- The broker handles the mortgage application, and your conveyancer handles settlement
Move in and keep tracking
After settlement, CoHomed keeps working. Track mortgage contributions, split household expenses, and keep everyone accountable.
- Split mortgage payments, rates, insurance, and maintenance costs
- Create one-off expenses (like renovating the deck) and vote on them within the app
- Automatic payment reminders so nobody falls behind
- Your reliability score builds over time — a track record of responsible co-ownership
A note on professional advice
CoHomed generates document templates and provides general information about co-ownership. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal or financial advice. We strongly recommend that each person in your group obtains independent legal and financial advice before signing any agreements or entering into a mortgage. CoHomed does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or Australian Credit Licence (ACL).
