Why now?
A new home is a natural moment to talk about how things work between you. A cohabitation agreement captures what you've agreed so things feel fair and clear from the start.
Fair on the finances
Know exactly how what you each put in is recognised. Feel good about your contributions, whatever the future looks like.
A smoother move-in
Get bills, rent and day-to-day life sorted between you before the boxes land. Less admin, fewer awkward moments.
On the same page
Turn the things you've already chatted about into something clear and written down. Bringing this up isn't a sign you're leaving, it's a sign you're staying.
Common law marriage isn't real
49% of UK adults still think it does, but in England and Wales unmarried couples don't have the same legal position as married ones.
Two ways to get started
A living together agreement (also called a cohabitation agreement) sets out how you'll manage money, the home and day-to-day life together. Whether you know what you want included or are still working it out, we'll meet you wherever you're at.
