Hi, many thanks for the above.
we would be using DocuSign vs mercury approach here, which we believe to be acceptable.
2.2 appears to relate to mercury approach, it also talks about: ‘The first requirement is that all the parties to the disposition or other dealing, including any parties who are not signing, are represented by a conveyancer’
The other two freeholders weren’t necessarily going to be represented by a conveyancer, they just need to sign the deed of variation in the relevant parts. If this is via DocuSign, then not sure I understand why a conveyancer is needed here? Perhaps that makes more sense when it is mercury approach and conveyancer is the witness to certify that signature taking place but DocuSign allows a very secure audit trail of the original document being signed by the ‘right’ person.
Sorry, still confused 🫤
