Why don't you tell us why you want to do this for better suggestions. While you can buy using a solicitor. But your name will have to be on the title. Unless you use some legal vehicle, like the very rich do.Hi, is it possible to buy a property anonymously via a solicitor?
To get proper advice, do you want to Bid anonymously, or even after that, do you want to own the property anonymously?Hi, is it possible to buy a property anonymously via a solicitor?
The seller will know before they sign contracts so that won't fly...
Either way, the buyers name will be on the contract
Am a solicitor. Could be done but as solicitor has to be willing it’s convoluted. Plenty of legal transactions are. I’d look for the full consideration and all fees to sit in a client account before acting for a private individual as agent.Not a Solicitor but I have bought property and cannot see that working, apart from being a convoluted approach my sense is that you would be adding layers unnecessarily to the conveyance process, you may have to show seasoned proof of funds, sign contracts, family home declarations etc have to be completed, deposits paid etc, my Solicitor wouldn't do it.
Wouldn't the OP only need to have the solicitor sign the contract as agent and after that all the documents could be in the correct name without the seller being aware of who it was.Am a solicitor.

Is there a chance the vendor will become suspicious of who's behind the agent and pull the sale anyway?
Yes, but reason solicitor would want to be in funds is if buyer pulls out, the solicitor has signed a binding contract. It doesn't have to be the solicitor that signs - it can be anybody.Wouldn't the OP only need to have the solicitor sign the contract as agent and after that all the documents could be in the correct name without the seller being aware of who it was.
