What can Cohabitation Agreements cover?
Your Cohabitation Agreement can cover a range of issues, including:
- Who pays what share of the rent or mortgage
- Who’s responsible for paying which bills
- How you plan on using a shared bank account
- Who’s responsible for any debts you incur while living together.
Cohabitation Agreements can set out the financial terms of your relationship in a clear and transparent way. This can potentially prevent these issues from causing problems in the future.
If you’ve personal assets you want to protect, such as investments, property, or assets overseas, a Cohabitation Agreement can help you to keep them safe.

Mediation support services
Mediation has become increasingly popular with couples who are entering Cohabitation Agreements.
It gives you and your partner a safe space to discuss what you’d both like from the agreement and resolve any potential issues in a non-confrontational environment.
When you come to our Cohabitation Agreement solicitors, we’ll discuss mediation with you and whether we believe it’s suitable for you and your partner.
