Shared mortgages can lead to heartbreak

Couples living together outside of marriage who take on a mortgage, can find themselves with significant problems if their relationship ever comes to and end.

Few couples have what is known as a 'pre-hab' agreement in place, meaning that if their relationship ever comes to an end one or both people involved can have massive financial problems.

A recent survey found that over half of the couples living together outside of marriage haven't even thought about getting a 'pre-hab' agreement, which could save them a lot of money and even more heartbreak.
