Your place, or mine?

Declarations of Trust, Wills & Cohabitation Agreements

Buying a home together is exciting, but if you’re not married, it can also leave you financially vulnerable in ways many couples simply don’t realise.

Who gets back the deposit if you separate? What happens if one of you pays for renovations? If one partner dies, does the other automatically inherit their share? The answers aren’t always what people expect.

Our new guide, Your Place, or Mine?, written by Amy Lane, Private Client Partner at Gunnercooke, explains the key legal decisions every unmarried couple should consider before buying a property together.

In plain English, it covers property ownership, Declarations of Trust, Wills and Cohabitation Agreements, helping you understand how to protect both your investment and your future.

Whether you’re buying your first home together or moving into a new property, spending a few minutes reading this guide could save significant stress, cost and uncertainty later.
