Cohabitation agreement - much change across last 20 years?
From Postman Pat@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 17 08:21:42 2025
20 years ago I had a cohabitation agreement drawn up under which,
should we split up, I keep the house and buy out my GF's 50% share of
the house (which she bought at the then valuation) at the new
valuation.
The lawyer said the agreement must be fair to both parties and the
quid pro quo for me keeping the house is that I have to find the cash
very fast - within x weeks.
Is this kind of agreement still possible today? I have a new GF now
who is likely to buy about 20% of the house.
Thank you in advance for any input. Obviously I will go and see a
lawyer but most around here do just conveyancing.
