In a similar vein, the title would be properly written as "yours and someone else's".– the-baby-is-youCommented Dec 9, 2018 at 23:15

This is my and John's house or this is John's and my house. The reason for this is because you should use a possessive determiner and not a possessive pronoun, as the pronoun is used in place of the noun, and the determiner is used before a noun. My is a determiner while mine is a pronoun.
