I wouldn't have thought this was an issue at all. Having someone come inspect your car and negotiating a sale can be a pretty stressful experience for a seller, I'm sure many people aren't comfortable with it so it gets passed to the member of the family who's most farmiliar dealing with these situations.

Thank you I am also fairly paranoid about these things. I have seen all the paperwork which is in his daughters name (they share surname) and will take a photo of his ID beforehand. I have also ran an HPI check and it is clean so hopefully me just overthinking these things. The daughter has already signed the V5 but I am obviously no there to see! I am
Also preparing a receipt where he will certify that he is authorised to sell on her behalf. I imagine it has limited legal weight but better than nothing! Thank you
