declaration of trust tennants in common

[SPARKY179]

if one person puts more down as a deposit on a house and then you both pay equal share of the mortgage each month and the relationship breaks down ,
without a declaration of trust or any safe guard on the amount of money one person put down initialy , would the house have to be divided equally when sold ?

If you are tenants in common on the title then I would say yes - the person putting in more at the start must have known they were putting more in when they opted for this form of ownership I assume ???? Whether it is morally right for them not to address the greater contribution is another matter.
