Mark Pattanshetti, an associate director at London-based mortgage broker largemortgageloans.com, says he has seen growing concerns about the financial impact of separation among clients who come to him for advice. “I am seeing an increased number of couples taking the decision to live together despite their differences, due to the increased cost of living apart, and the future uncertainty of their jobs and incomes with an impending recession,” he says. “These couples are finding it more beneficial to remain w their mortgage.”
