Occupier Waiver Form

 
 
You need to sign an occupier waiver form (also called a deed of consent or occupier consent form) if you are over 16 and living in a property but you are not a party to the mortgage. This document waives your legal rights to live in the property, in the event that the borrowers break their repayment contract with the lender and the lender is forced to repossess the property.

As long as the mortgage holder keeps up their repayments this shouldn't effect you. However, if they default on their mortgage, you could lose your home. While this doesn't happen often, you must receive proper legal advice to ensure you understand the implications before signing the occupier consent, in order for it to become legally binding.

Does your Lender accept ILA by video conference?
Some mortgage lenders will not accept independent legal advice provided by video conference. It is your responsibility to check that they will accept a signature which has been witnessed by video conference. If your certificate is refused by your mortgage lender because your independent legal advice was conducted by video conference, Parachute Law reserves the right to withhold any refund of our fees.
