License to Occupy (for Mutuals & Cooperatives)

Where a new mutual is to make use of property belonging to the Local Authority, the latter may transfer the freehold under the Transfer Agreement, or may allow the mutual to occupy the property under a lease or a licence

This template assumes that the Local Authority will provide two properties for use by the mutual, one under a Lease and the other under a Licence to Occupy.  The decision on whether a Lease or Licence to Occupy is appropriate needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis with legal advice

This document is a template Licence to Occupy to be granted by the Local Authority to the mutual. This form of agreement is only appropriate where the mutual will not have exclusive possession of the property
