Hi,
When signing a property contract at sale / auction, ie: for an investment property
Is the legal requirement to state your name.
Do you also have to state your residential address – as I like my privacy (with my line of work)
If you do have to state an address – can it be a PO box or your work address??
cheers
Not that I'm aware of however some documents do ask this. You can always say you are temporarily of no fixed abode and provide your lawyers address.
Your solicitor/conveyancer would be the best port of call.

Usually you do. Which state are we talking about?

Of course you need to state your name when entering a contract – otherwise who would the contract be with? If you don't want to put your name you could speak to a lawyer about using a nominee or a bare trustee to sign contract – beware of stamp duty implications.
No strict need for an address but this is common as you need to be indentifable – there may be many John Smiths out there, so the address would distinguish them.
