Thinking of moving in together? Make sure you are in Agreement!
If you and your partner are thinking of renting or buying a property together before getting married, why would you need a Family Lawyer? James Leach explains why more and more couples are fi nding legal advice useful when setting up a home together.
James Leach
Solicitor
A lot of people think that ‘cohabiting’ couples have the same legal protection and rights as those who are married. In 2019, 46% of people surveyed (half of which were actually unmarried couples living together) believed in a popular notion of ‘common law marriage’ off ering them the same fi nancial orders and protection as married couples (under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973). THIS DOES NOT EXIST.
English law does not have any statutory provisions similar to marriage for cohabiting couples. No protection, No rights. Nothing. There have been several attempts to change the law in the past 15 years which have all failed, but there has been the emergence of the ‘Cohabitation Agreement’.
What is a Cohabitation Agreement?
A Cohabitation Agreement is made in writing and signed by both parties in the presence of a witness. They will often, but not always, cover three main areas:
1. Who owns (and owes) what at the time of the agreement, and in what proportion 2. What fi nancial arrangements are agreed when living together? (e.g. how are bills to be paid?) 3. How property, assets and income should be divided in the event of relationship breakdown If both parties are in agreement, you can include pretty much anything in the document. For examples, if there are plans for children in the relationship, provisions can be made, (but terms of any agreement are often reviewed following the birth of a child).
Is a Cohabitation Agreement legally binding?
Cohabitation Agreements have received much more positive judicial reaction and support in recent times, providing encouragement and incentive for cohabiting couples to get some sort of security in place where there is a lack of legislation. It is best practice for both parties to take their own independent legal advice in relation to the agreement, to make sure they understand what it means for them.
Can we make a Cohabitation Agreement after moving in together?
Yes. Even if you have been living with your partner for many years, one can still be made. You can get a Family Lawyer to sort out where you are to date, and maybe a Mediator to make sure no one takes any off ense during discussions.

What are the benefits of a Cohabitation Agreement?
• Saving a lot of time and money in the event of a dispute • Clarity and understanding often strengthens a relationship • Documentation of individual contributions and recording of how any future equity or increase in value is divided. It can also stipulate that a property is owned solely by one party, whilst protecting the other party’s right to occupy the property.
What should a Cohabitation Agreement cover?
• Shared Home • Money and Bills (joint accounts, utilities, expenses) • Pension and Wills • Personal Possessions • Children
In conclusion….
A Cohabitation Agreement eliminates a lot of uncertainty if a couple living together splits up. It helps ease the burden of setting up a new home and the costs involved are substantially less than if a matter were to end up in court.
