Who this guide is for
Desi (South Asian) families pooling resources to buy property together — adult children with parents, married siblings buying together, multigenerational households.
- Adult child + parents purchasing together for multigenerational living
- Two married siblings' families combining for larger property
- Parents helping with deposit while child holds title
- Joint family investment in income property
The local picture
Family co-purchases are common in South Asian communities but unusual for major banks. Joint applications, ownership structures, what happens if circumstances change — all need careful planning. Cultural decision-making (involving elders) doesn't fit standard banker conversations.

Mortgagefy works with desi families regularly. We include parents and elders in conversations, structure ownership properly, and coordinate with family lawyers for the co-ownership deed.
Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, Tamil support.
