The Honest Truth About Buying Property With Someone You Love.
Description
Buying property with a partner is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, but most couples spend more time choosing the kitchen tiles than figuring out what happens if things go wrong. Holly Egerton is a property lawyer who has bought (and navigated the aftermath of) two properties with two different partners. She brings both the personal experience and the legal knowledge, and the combination makes for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast.
This conversation is about what most couples never discuss: what happens to the house if the relationship ends, what a prenup actually is (and why you already have one whether you know it or not), and how property can quietly become the reason you stay in a relationship longer than you should. If you're buying with a partner, thinking about it, or just want to understand how to protect yourself financially, this one is worth your full attention.
