What is a co-habitation agreement?
A co-habitation agreement records the agreement reached between two people intending to cohabit about their financial arrangements. Typically it will seek to ring-fence the assets owned by each party prior to the cohabitation and to regularise the co-ownership of the property in which they will live. It may also set out the financial contributions each party is to make whilst they are living together. Such agreements can help protect your interests if the relationship comes to an end and help minimise court intervention.
