The sale must be made subject to the occupier obtaining freeholder consent. This consent involves two key considerations:
•Age criteria: the occupier must have a minimum age of 55 (or less with a waiver from the local authority for a disability).
•Suitability: the court must be confident that they can accommodate the needs of the occupier.
In addition, freeholder consent confirms the following conditions:
•Companies cannot bid on the property
•Sub-letting will not be allowed so no buy-to-let brigade.
•The bidder must be the occupier unless they are buying for a direct relative (child for a parent).
Please refer to the legal pack for further information.
