Quick Summary

Purchasing property in the name of a live-in partner using your own funds is considered a benami transaction and is generally illegal in the UK. If a dispute arises, you likely cannot claim the property back. Furthermore, a live-in partner is not legally recognised as a spouse, meaning they do not automatically have the same rights or protections as a married spouse.
