Selling a house in UK
Hi
I guess what I'm looking for here is some free legal advice!
I moved to the US last year and my partner stayed in the UK. We are now in the process of moving her out here and so we have put our house on the market.
We jointly own the property so both our names are listed on the deeds.
Do I have to physically return to the UK to sign the sale contract? We have a public notary in the office in the US - I was hoping to just write a letter authorising my partner to act on my behalf (I guess give her power of attorney) and have the letter notorised
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated
