In short, yes you can. With that said however, it is required that at the time at which you sell your property, you will complete what is known as a property information form. Sometimes known as a TA6. Within the property information form, there are a list of questions that the seller will complete which pertains to the property and these questions are then given to the buyer prior to the point of the exchange of contracts which is the binding point of a property transaction. Within the list here, of the property information form, there is a declaration required as to whether indeed there have been any disputes over a property which of course a seller is required to complete honestly, otherwise they may find themselves in breach of contract. It is then a decision for the buyer as to whether they wish to proceed in the knowledge of a dispute, either ongoing or past and it may be that your conveyancer makes inquiries as to the nature of this dispute which of course a seller would be required to disclose in the event that they wish to proceed with the sale. So yes, you can proceed without one, however in reality it is quite rare that of course a sale is continuing in the event that a dispute is present as of course it doesn’t act as an attractive prospect for a buyer.
