Property Battles Between Unmarried Couples. The Home You Shared. Who Owns It When You Separate?

About this episode

This episode discusses property ownership rights for unmarried couples in the UK during relationship breakdowns.

If a relationship breaks down, who really owns the home? With over 3.6 million UK couples living together without being married in the UK, knowing your rights has never been more important! In this episode, Hatti and specialist Barrister Rachel Bale break down TOLATA claims in plain and simple English, explaining how courts decide property ownership, what evidence matters, and how you can protect yourself before things go wrong. If you live with a partner or contribute to a shared home, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
