Deed of consent

Quick question myself and my sister live with my mum who is re-mortgaging, in a letter from the solicitor it says we have to get the deed of consent witnessed by a solicitor, is this true or can anyone witness it?

Some lenders need it witnessing by a solicitor, some recommend it be witnessed by a solicitor.
Call them and check for certain. At one time a solicitor might do it for free or charge you a fiver, but after a number of claims against witnessing solicitors, for supposedly not giving the right advice when witnessing, many are now charging and opening a file and doing a fact find and documenting the whole transaction. You can imagine the difference in cost involved.I am a Mortgage Consultant and don't like to be told what I can and can't put in a signature so long as it's legal and truthful.0
