Why now?
A new home is a natural moment to talk about how things work between you. A cohabitation agreement captures the things couples don't always write down, so you both feel 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.
Confidence in what you've agreed
Turn the things you've already chatted about into something clear and written down, so you can focus on life together.
A safety net that's yours
Unmarried couples in England and Wales don't get the same legal protections as married ones. Your agreement fills that gap with a plan built around your life.
Two ways to get started
A cohabitation agreement (also called a living together 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.
