Question

Alpha , Beta , Gamma , Delta and Epsilon were the best of friends all throughout their school years. In early September 2023, they were getting ready to head off to Leicester to start their law degrees. Before they went, their parents, who were delighted that all their children were going off to study together, decided to pool together some money so that the children could buy a freehold house to live in for the period of their studies. It was also hoped that, upon graduation, all of the children could then benefit from the future sale of the house to help start their careers. The house they chose cost £250,000 and has 5 bedrooms. Not all of the parents, however, were able to make the same financial contribution. Alpha, Delta and Epsilon were able, with their parents' help, to put in £50,000 each. Beta could only afford to contribute £25,000, but Gamma was able to put in the final £75,000 necessary to reach the purchase price. At the time of the conveyance, the solicitor drafting the deed used this phrase: "to Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon as joint tenants in equity". The parties thought nothing of it and continued with the purchase of the property.

Discuss the ownership issues at the outset of the purchase by the 5 students considering both legal and equitable interests in the property.
