Independent Evidence Replication — Seller identity and authority
Primary official evidence
Start with the current land-registry record: identify the registered owner, the person who will actually sign, and the document giving that person authority. Identity alone does not prove authority to dispose of this specific property. Do not rely only on an image supplied by the seller. Re-check the entry or right through the available official channel and compare number, date, scope and authorized party. Independent sourcing reduces the risk of stale or selectively presented evidence. The independent check should reproduce the material result from the competent official source rather than merely re-read a copy supplied by a party.
