You can own the house as 'Tenants in Common' in which would state the percentage share of the property. Useful if the relationship should go tits up. As it sounds like you would be contributing most to the monthly payments, yet also contributing to the initial deposit, I think it's reasonable for you to jointly own the property with your girlfriend.
At some point in the conveyancing process, your solicitor will ask you both how you want to set up the ownership of the property:
