Understanding Power of Attorney for Overseas Property Purchases 🏡
Purchasing property abroad—whether you’re investing or relocating—often requires granting someone legal authority to act on your behalf. A Power of Attorney (POA) is the essential but often overlooked tool that enables this. Here’s how engaging LM Notary Public, with three convenient offices in East London, can safeguard your interests overseas.
1. What is a Power of Attorney—and why do you need one?
A POA is a legal document authorising a trusted person to sign deeds, contracts, or registrations on your behalf. It’s indispensable when you’re unavailable—such as for an overseas property purchase.
2. Three Convenient East London Locations
To serve you better across the region, we operate from three strategically placed offices:
- Isle of Dogs (Canary Wharf)
10–16 Tiller Road, London, E14 8PX (see on map) - Bizniz Point Stratford
44 Broadway, London E15 1XH (see on map) - Dagenham (Essex border)
The Hubb, 335–351 Rainham Road South, Dagenham, RM10 8QR (see on map)
Whether you’re based north, south, east, or west of the City, you’re always close to expert POA support.
3. How Our Notary Public Helps
- Drafting & advising
Tailored to your target country’s legal requirements—property type, duration, scope. - Identity verification
Checking ID and current proof of address (within the past three months) per UK regulations (lmnotarypublic.co.uk). - Notarisation
Witnessing your signature and affixing the official notary seal. - Apostille/legalisation

4. Practical Tips to Ensure Smooth Execution
- Choose a reliable proxy – lawyer, agent, or family member familiar with your destination.
- Define clear limitations – e.g., property-related only, financial decisions, or time-limited authority.
- Verify acceptance – some countries require fully notarised and apostilled translations; we can facilitate.
- Plan ahead – standard apostille processing takes around 10 days; same‑day is available at a premium.
