Occupiers’s Deed of Consent

Posts: 6 Forumite
We are currently signing contracts ready for exchange and need to provide occupiers deed of consent for our two adult children. Our solicitor won’t provide advice as he is acting for us. My question is, does this to be done with a solicitor? Or are forms available that they could sign (and have witnessed) independently? Our mortgage is with HSBC.
Thanks in advance for any/all advice 😅

I think you need to aim this question at HSBC, because it does vary between lenders.When I had to do one for my mother, and I don’t recall who the mortgage was with at the time, they insisted that I got independent legal advice to make sure I properly understood the implications of what I was signing.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1 -
Maybe some misunderstanding? I'd expect your solicitor to provide the forms of consent - though they won't be able to give advice to your children about the forms.1

Thank you both. Contacted HSBC and they ‘hadn’t ever heard of it’, called the solicitor so hopefully we can get it sorted with them without any delays x0
