How to Get a Cohabitation Agreement Online?

Get your UK cohabitation agreement online in three straightforward steps, with fixed fees, guided drafting and independent legal advice for both partners.

Online cohabitation agreements in the UK

Wenup is a fixed-fee, online way for UK couples to put a cohabitation agreement in place together. You both get independent legal advice, the price is fixed and transparent, and the whole thing is built to be fair to both of you, not adversarial.

How Much Does a Cohabitation Agreement Cost?

Fixed-fee, all in. No hidden costs, no hourly billing — choose the option that works for you.

Single Lawyer

One lawyer acting for both parties

£400

(per person)
  • Wenup platform, case manager & drafting £560
  • Single lawyer acting for both parties £240
  • Total, fixed £800

No hidden fees, no hourly billing

A traditional solicitor typically charges by the hour. With Wenup the price is fixed before you start — nothing more to pay.

Watch  how easy it is to get a cohabitation agreement?

Easier than you would expect. There are no solicitor's offices, no chasing appointments and no open-ended fees. Most couples complete their questionnaire in an evening, have their lawyer calls within days, and sign shortly after.

What can a cohabitation agreement protect?

A cohabitation agreement sets out how you would divide things if you ever separated, so you can both feel secure. Couples commonly use one to protect:

Property

A home or assets owned before or during the relationship.

A business

A company or stake you have built up.

Inheritance

Family gifts or future inheritance.

Savings & investments

Savings, investments and shared finances.

Are Cohabitation Agreements Legally Binding in the UK?

Cohabitation agreements can be legally binding contracts between partners. They are not nuptial agreements, but when properly drafted, with full financial disclosure and fair terms, they carry real weight and give you clarity and protection over shared and separate assets.

There are two ways to have your agreement drawn up, depending on where you're starting from:

  • Single lawyer, jointly instructed – for couples who have already agreed the terms between them and want one solicitor to formalise and document that agreement.
  • Two independent lawyers – each partner has their own solicitor, giving the agreement an extra layer of protection and the strongest standing if it's ever challenged.

Both routes produce a strong agreement built on the same foundation of full disclosure and fair terms. If you're already aligned on the terms, a single jointly-instructed lawyer is a straightforward way to formalise them. If you want the added assurance of each having your own independent advice, that option is there too. Wenup supports both from the start.

Is an online cohabitation agreement valid?

Yes. What makes an agreement valid isn't the format, it's whether it's done properly: full disclosure, fair terms, and the right legal advice for your circumstances, whether that's one jointly-instructed lawyer or two independent ones. Wenup is built around those requirements from the start, which is why a downloaded template usually isn't enough.

Wenup provides legal forms, information and access to independent lawyers. Wenup is not a law firm.

Cohabitation Agreement FAQs

 Wenup cohabitation agreement is £800 for a single lawyer agreement, or £999 for an independent lawyer for each of you. That covers the platform, your case manager, drafting, and an independent lawyer for each of you. There are no hourly fees and nothing more to pay.

Cohabitation agreements are contracts between partners. When properly drafted with full disclosure and independent legal advice for both partners, they provide important clarity and protection. An online agreement is just as valid as one done in person when done properly, which Wenup is built around.

Most couples complete the questionnaire in an evening and speak to a lawyer shortly after that. Start to finish it is typically a matter of a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly you both want to move.

The earlier the better — ideally before you move in together or make major joint financial commitments. Having an agreement in place before combining finances gives you both the clearest protection.

Commonly a home or assets owned before or during the relationship, a business, family gifts and future inheritance, and savings and investments. On your free consultation we can talk through your specific situation.

Approached openly, it is a shared, honest conversation about your future, and it protects you both. Because Wenup is collaborative rather than one-sided, it becomes something you do together. We are happy to suggest simple, kind ways to start that conversation.

No. Unlike married couples, cohabiting partners do not automatically have rights to each other's property or finances if the relationship ends. A cohabitation agreement sets out your intentions clearly and gives you both important protection.
