FAQsIf I Only Appoint One Attorney Can He Or She Sell My House?

If I Only Appoint One Attorney Can He Or She Sell My House?

It depends upon the circumstances. If someone chooses to appoint their partner as their only attorney, and they owned the house together, then the partner would not be able to sell the house. This is because attorneys cannot make decisions to benefit themselves, and selling the house would not be seen as them acting independently. In this situation it would still be possible to sell the house, and we would be able to assist

If someone appoints both their partner and another attorney – for example, a son or daughter – then the two attorneys together would be able to sell the house. Similarly, if only one attorney is appointed, and they don’t own part of the house, then they would also be able to sell the house.

Can’t recommend Catteralls enough. Eleanor, Claire and her team have just helped us with a recent house sale. They were quick and efficient with responses. Even with me ringing and emailing plenty (very annoying) but nothing was too much for them. They did all things on our side promptly and kept us in the loop at all times. Will be recommending them and using again in future if needed.
Thanks so much.
Rachel and Harry.

We used Catterall's for the sale of a property and had excellent service throughout. Everything was done promptly, efficiently and accurately. We had experienced lots of errors with a previous firm and saw a marked contrast in the quality of service and professionalism from Catteralls. Danielle and Sue were knowledgable and helpful and were able to answer questions about the errors from the purchase of the property with a different firm so that we could move forwards quickly with the sale. Prices were reasonable and competitive but I would choose the firm again regardless of price because of the experience. It is the second time we have used the firm (previously for a different purchase) and I can highly recommend them.

My wife and I engaged Catteralls Solicitors conveyancing services to both sell our old house and to buy our new house. We can thoroughly recommend their services in this regard. In particular we would like to give excellent feedback to Ms Eleanor Parkin, our Conveyancing Executive at Catteralls, who dealt with us throughout the buying and selling process. Some aspects of that process became problematic but Eleanor went above and beyond that which was expected of her and ensured that any problems were resolved effectively and efficiently to ensure a smooth completion. Our engagement with her was always friendly and professional and we would be happy to recommend her professional services to others. Thank you, Eleanor!

Thank you Catteralls for helping us with our recent house sale!! I will certainly recommend you to family and friends.
Catteralls would be the first solicitor I came to if I needed any help in the future! Thanks again for everything. Fantastic communication, making a hard time in our lives that much easier. I can not fault a thing.☺️

I've used these for the sale of a rental property and my will and am also currently using them for a purchase of a residential property. Used them because my usual solicitors let me down. I can't comment on price because I didn't really shop around. A family member recommended them, and they've been good for me so far. Here, I've never felt like I haven't been able to speak to someone when I've needed to and they've always been on hand to explain anything I didn't understand. So far so good.

Jenny and her team, saved the day after our sale and purchase almost fell through due to the poor performance of our previous solicitor. She was responsive, highly efficient and keep us informed throughout the whole process. We would only use Catteralls for any future conveyancing requirements. Many thanks Jenny, Sarah and the rest of the team!

Jess looked after my case. It was most helpful in that I was able to do everything via email, so all I had to do on the day was sign some paperwork, therefore only needing to make the one visit, which was perfect for me.

Jess was efficient & organised and made the process a smooth one.

Thanks Jess I appreciate all you did for me. 🙂

I will certainly recommend to family and friends and would be the first solicitor I came to if I needed any help in the future! Thanks again.
