You should realy be runnig single 3 core cables for every circuit and never individual cores. And don't tap neutrals because it's convenient do it once do it right.

Breveleri | Per OP's description, the fan+light has two hot wires, one for the motor and one for the lamp, but only one shared neutral wire for both loads, that he cannot separate. In his drawing, the switched-hot goes to the lamp hot wire via one cable, and the constant-hot direct from the basement lights goes to the motor hot wire via another cable. - But the combined return current cannot be safely returned by any permutation of the two neutral wires. | |
