1. Notarisation of Powers of Attorney
If you are unable to travel, we can notarise a power of attorney allowing a trusted individual or lawyer overseas to act on your behalf in the sale of your property.
2. Certification of Identity Documents
We certify passports, proof of address, and other identification documents required by foreign lawyers and notaries.
3. Witnessing Signatures on Sale Documents
We oversee the signing of documents such as:
- Property sale agreements
- Transfer deeds
- Completion documents
- Declarations and affidavits
4. Verification of Identity and Capacity
We confirm your identity and ensure you understand the documents you are signing, which is often a requirement in international property transactions.
5. Apostille and Legalisation Services
We can arrange for your documents to be legalised for use abroad, including:
- Apostille certificates issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)
- Consular legalisation where required by the destination country
6. Certified Copies of Documents
We provide certified copies of key documents so originals can be retained safely while copies are sent overseas.

We prepare and notarise sworn statements that may be required as part of the sale process.
8. Liaison with Overseas Lawyers and Agents
We regularly work alongside foreign lawyers, estate agents, and notaries to ensure your documents meet local requirements.
