OCCUPIER'S CONSENT 

In equity release transactions, occupier’s consent is required when someone lives in the property but is not the homeowner taking out the equity release, such as a spouse, partner, or family member. This consent confirms that the occupier understands and agrees to the release of equity and acknowledges any impact on their right to live in the property.

 

Our solicitors can witness occupier’s consent forms or deeds of waiver, ensuring they are correctly completed and legally valid. Properly witnessed consent helps prevent delays in completing equity release transactions and gives occupiers confidence that their agreement is formally recognised.
