The Letting Centre - Using ESignatures with the Forms and Agreements

 Note

The following documents cannot and should not be E-Signed:

• G02 Form - Deed of Guarantee - Electronic signing of deeds is not advisable due to lack of certainty and safeguards with respect of the witness requirement, i.e. that the document has actually been signed in the presence of a witness. At present, it is unclear whether a deed can be validly executed using standard electronic signing systems
   
• NTQ - Notice to quit a common law tenancy - This document can be E-Signed by the landlord or the agent, but it may be more difficult to send this notice to the tenant for E-Signing as it requires proof of receipt to support any possession claim which may be more difficult to prove with E-Signing, i.e. proving that it was the tenant who actually received and viewed the notice
