Are you buying a property with your partner? Do you understand your rights as an unmarried couple?
As more unmarried couples than ever choose to buy a home together, it’s important to understand that the legal position for unmarried partners is very different from that of married couples or civil partners. Rights aren’t automatic and often depend on practical details such as whose name appears on the title deeds, how the mortgage is arranged, and how each partner contributes financially.
Our helpful guide is designed to support couples buying or owning a home together. It explains key considerations for unmarried couples buying property together, including ownership structures and how they work in practice, financial contributions and what can happen if a relationship breaks down.
The guide explores practical issues such as protecting deposits, understanding joint tenants versus tenants in common, dealing with mortgages and clarifying what happens if one partner wants to sell.
