Occupiers

You must advise us if there are any non-owner adult occupiers in your house and give us full details of their relationship to you. By adult occupiers, we mean anyone who is over 17 years of age and in actual occupation of the property. It is likely that any adult occupiers will be required to consent to the sale of the property by signing the contract for sale.

It is imperative that you inform us if you are in a matrimonial dispute with your partner, so that we may take the appropriate steps when selling your property.

In the event that you are purchasing your new property with the benefit of a mortgage it will be necessary for you to provide us with full details of all individuals who will be taking up occupation of the property who will not be party to the mortgage and will not own the property. We are thinking here of any individuals who are over the age of 17 years of age and will take up occupation of the property following completion. All such individuals will be required to complete a Form of Consent in favour of your new mortgage lender prior to completion of this property transaction. Should your mortgage offer require us to obtain a completed Occupiers Consent Form, this additional work will incur additional charges.
