Legal analysis: when buying a house, you can sign the subscription agreement on your behalf, but the legal effect of signing on your behalf should be analyzed in detail. Whether the contract is valid depends on whether the buyer entrusts the seller to sign it. If the buyer entrusts the seller to sign the contract, the contract is valid. However, if the agent exceeds the authority of the authorized agent, it is either an agency by estoppel or an agency act with undetermined effect, and the contract is valid only after the ratification of the agent. Without authorization, it is an unauthorized agent.

Legal basis: Article 502 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), a contract established according to law shall come into effect upon its establishment, unless otherwise stipulated by law or agreed by the parties. In accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, if the contract should go through the approval procedures, such provisions shall prevail. If the failure to go through the formalities such as approval affects the effectiveness of the contract, it will not affect the performance of the obligation clauses such as approval and the effectiveness of relevant clauses in the contract. If the party that should go through the formalities for approval fails to perform its obligations, the other party may require it to bear the responsibility for violating its obligations. The modification, assignment and dissolution of a contract shall be subject to the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, and the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply and shall be subject to approval.
