Selling Home With One Owner Overseas
 
Hi everyone, we are preparing to sell our home in Victoria Australia to return back to the UK (it's not on the market yet). We are considering hubby moving ahead of myself & wondered if anyone else had sold their home with one partner being overseas when everything is in joint names. Could a non-enduring power of attorney be used to enable me to complete the final sign off on a property sale? Thank you in advance for any suggestions/advice.

I assume a lawyer is involved in the closing/ completion? ... Speak to them, it should be a total non-issue.

I sold a house (in London) when neither my wife nor I were in the UK.

I also bought a house in the US while I was visiting London, though my wife was present, which was also a total non-issue.

I agree that it should be a non-issue. We sold our house in the UK with neither of us being present, and that was pre-internet. My brother sold his UK house from Australia with neither he or his wife being in the UK at all, and that was in 2000.
