A cohabitation agreement isn’t unromantic, and it definitely doesn't mean you love each other any less. Think of it as the relationship equivalent of wearing sunscreen: it protects you from getting burned, keeps things healthy long-term and doesn’t ruin the vibe. Whether you’re moving in together for the first time or you’ve already mastered the art of sharing a bathroom, having things written down keeps everything fair, clear and drama-free.

Why get one?

A cohabitation agreement can help you:

• Know exactly who owns what (including that vintage couch neither of you want to admit is uncomfortable)

• Agree on how you’ll split bills without needing a household spreadsheet war

• Protect any parental help or inheritances that went into your home

• Decide what happens with property or support if you ever part ways

• Avoid messy arguments later by sorting things out while everyone’s calm and caffeinated

What does it cost?

We keep things simple and transparent. A standard agreement (covering property, finances and support where no companies or trusts are involved) is often more affordable than people think. We use a fixed fee, so there are no surprise invoices lurking in the shadows. You’ll work with an experienced family lawyer who’ll walk you through everything in plain English, no legal jargon required.
