Can I sign a contract to buy a house in China?

Legal Analysis: In China, it is ok to sign a house purchase contract, but the written entrustment of the house buyer is valid, which generally requires the signature of the house buyer for confirmation. The act of the agent signing in the name of the buyer within the agency authority is valid for the buyer. If the power of attorney is in written form, the power of attorney shall specify the agent's name, agency matters, authority and time limit, and shall be signed or sealed by the principal.

Legal basis: Article 161 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a civil subject may carry out a civil juristic act through an agent. In accordance with the provisions of the law, the agreement of the parties or the nature of civil legal acts, civil legal acts that should be implemented by themselves shall not be represented.
