Thanks for your answer. Isn't this the percentage of the deposit though and not he property as a whole? 
Thanks

Yes.  The bank would own the rest.  If not a mortgage, then unless or until each contributes more, that is the % they are entitled to. Or unless you know what % of the total price is represented by the downpayment.  For example, is the downpayment 20% of the purchase price. Without knowing that, not much else can be determined.  Unless this is some sort of trick question, and maybe I'm missing the ambiguity.  Sorry if that's the case.
