PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I've submitted offers on behalf of my brother, so yes, you could get someone else to do it for you. Solicitors are a good idea, or if you're not up to negotiating with EAs you could get a savvy friend or someone like that to do it for you? :)

    Sooner or later the vendor is going to have to know who you are.

    Why pay a solicitor?
    Been away for a while.

    Assume OP is in England/Wales?

    In Scotland, you have to have a solicitor submit the offer for you, and it must specify who you are.

    Why don't you want to submit an offer yourself, or in your own name? Is there some reason the seller won't take you seriously?
