Frequently asked questions.
What is Cucoon® about?
Cucoon® opens a new way to make property more affordable, connecting people who are highly compatible to cobuy together, based on location, financials, lifestyle goals and timelines.
How many times do you meet before cobuying?
As many times as you like! We facilitate early meetups with Cucoon® events and local venues, ensuring you have important discussions on lifestyle, finances and timelines before moving onto the viewings stage together.
What if one person wants to move out before the other?
Life changes, and we plan for that. A co-ownership agreement outlines what happens if one party wants to sell. A transfer of equity can be made to a new co-owner, either found privately or through the Cucoon® platform.
What checks do you on people?
Every Cucoon® certified member is verified for their identity, income and credit checks and an optional DBS check can be requested for peace of mind. This helps ensure that everyone entering the co-buying journey is genuine and financially ready.
How do you make it legal?
Every co-buying partnership is formalised with trusted conveyancing solicitors who create personalised shared ownership contracts. These cover ownership shares, exit strategy and registering of the property with all owners listed on the title.
What support do you provide?
We offer end-to-end guidance, including compatibility assessments, a shared mortgage calculator to inform you on how much you could afford together, mortgage support through partner brokers and lenders, legal support through trusted solicitors, knowledge on homes that suit co-living and continued support after purchase.
