Cohabiting couples in England and Wales generally have no automatic right to a shared home or to a partner’s assets when the relationship ends. A solicitor can help with planning ahead through cohabitation agreements, or with disputes arising from living together, such as property ownership, housing matters, and parenting arrangements. They also advise on how to resolve financial claims where evidence supports a result based on trusts, implied terms, or contributions to the home. The practical work often involves drafting or reviewing agreements, advising on rights under property law, and representing clients in related negotiations.
The work typically involves assessing how property is held or contributed to, identifying potential claims based on resulting or constructive trusts, and advising on how to protect interests through formal or informal agreements. It may also involve negotiating settlements or disputing ownership in disputes that arise from cohabitation, with reference to housing rights and family considerations.

Rachel was amazing during my divorce, which involved an out-of-court settlement and financial separation. I had no idea how to handle any of it, but she explained everything clearly and made sure I was fully protected. She was always available when I needed support and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Very supportive, informative, and professional. Highly recommend

Mr Sheikh and his team have been tremendously supportive and helpful during our case. A specialist and high-level of legal knowledge was backed with sensitivity and honesty, providing clear information and explaining options carefully. Communication was timely and easy to understand. It was a great relief to know that we were in the hands of such a caring and effective professional. We felt fully supported throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Sheikh and Winckworth Sherwood to others. Thank you.
