Notarised Affidavit required for UK cash purchase?

[rosh]

We have just received and signed closing documents after passing ROFR, received an email a few days before saying a notarised affidavit was required by law since July 1 2023. I haven’t seen this mentioned or discussed anywhere previously, nor has it been mentioned at any point through the process by the real estate or closing company. Can anyone confirm whether this is required and a necessary cost or will things progress without it?

Are you using DVC title and escrow by any chance as the title company ?

This has come top multiple times for all UK buyers. You should be able to use an online notary based in US. closing company should tell you more info.
