If the intent of the question is regarding the ruling on your participation in the ownership of a property, or in purchasing a share in a property where some of those who bought or participated in it have paid the price through an interest-based loan; then your purchase of a share in this property is permissible, and the sin of engaging in an interest-based loan falls upon its perpetrator.
