The conclusions section mentions "the possible lack of enforcability of Living Together Agreements" and refers to this Law Commission report (I think) (http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/docs/cp179.pdf) which I've not read but is said to advocate making such agreements unambiguously enforceable. Not that that would make much difference to people who didn't make one.
Oops, just realised I was horribly unclear there, I meant I read the BBC report on the research, rather than the research report itself.
If your "should be able to get extra legal rights by mutual agreement without getting married" just means the ability for agreements to be enforcable then that's fine.
And then you either make an agreement, get married, or live without.
