UK Capital Gains Tax may apply
If you're UK-resident and past the 4-year FIG window, the gain is UK-taxable (residential-property CGT is 18% / 24%), with Foreign Tax Credit Relief for the Indian tax.

The situation
Selling from the UK, without the flight
You don't need to be in India to sell. A Special Power of Attorney — signed in the UK, an apostille (the UK is a Hague Convention country, via the FCDO), then adjudicated and registered in India — lets a trusted person sign the sale deed for you. The tax mechanics are the same as any NRI sale: TDS comes off the full sale value, so a lower-TDS certificate matters. See your numbers on the capital-gains & TDS calculator.
The UK side
How the sale looks to HMRC
India taxes the gain; the UK may tax it too, with credit for the Indian tax. The 2025 rules decide how much.
Declare it on Self-Assessment
The disposal goes on the foreign pages of your return. Declaring is mandatory even though Indian TDS was deducted.
Check your FIG position first
Within your first 4 UK years you may relieve the gain; if you've been UK-resident longer, get dual UK-India advice before you sell.
Draft & legalise the POA in the UK
We draft a Special POA and guide notarisation and apostille where you are.
Adjudicate & register in India
Your POA holder stamps and registers it, then can sign the sale deed on your behalf.
Lower-TDS certificate & sale
We get TDS cut to your actual gain before completion, so cash isn't locked up.
Repatriate to the UK
We file 15CA/15CB and move the proceeds out cleanly, within the limit.
Key things to know
Selling from the UK — the essentials
What makes a remote sale safe, clean and tax-smart.
Use a Special POA, not a General one
A Special POA authorises only this sale, with proceeds to your NRO account. Never hand over a broad General POA. See our POA guide.
Your POA is apostilled
an apostille (the UK is a Hague Convention country, via the FCDO). Executing it before the Indian consulate is the cleanest route.
A lower-TDS certificate frees up cash
Without it, TDS is taken on the whole sale value. With it, only on your gain — the difference can be tens of lakhs. See the lower-TDS service.

Selling from the UK, answered
Can I sell from the UK without visiting India?
Yes — a Special Power of Attorney, apostilled via the FCDO, lets a trusted person complete the sale in India. We run the process end to end.
Will I pay UK tax on the gain too?
If you're UK-resident and past the 4-year FIG window, UK CGT can apply (18%/24% on residential property), with credit for the Indian tax. Within the window you may relieve the gain — get advice first.
Apostille or embassy attestation?
The UK is a Hague country, so your POA is apostilled through the FCDO — no consulate attestation needed.
