DO - in your initial post, you said that the parents of the girls had discussed the possibility of them sharing, etc.  At any point, did the parents ask the girls if that's what they preferred?  And if they did, what was the girls' response?  I still feel there's a deal of parental control inherent in this scenario of flat-buying.  The non-owning girl is surely always going to feel in a lesser position, whereas in HoR or in a rented flat, the girls are at parity.  And what are the financial and social ramifications if the girls, as has been already posited, drift apart or have a major falling-out?  It strikes me that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, since the owning family could be stuck with their daughter looking for that 'stranger' to share with at some point, which is not what they envisaged.
