Hello all,
I am currently having an issue with regard to the purchase of a new apartment in the Blanchardstown area. My solicitor - based in Cork - has advised me not to sign and pay the 2nd installment for the property based on the fact that the Builders Solicitors are refusing to furnish him with a Grant of Easements. My solicitor claims that this is a standard requirement for any house purchase and he cannot understand why the builders solicitors are refusing to give it to him. The initial request was made back in October and on each subsequent occasion, the builders solicitor has refused to answer.
I have a few questions:
How important is a Grant of Easements? My solicitor is based in Cork where it is apparently seen as essential. Is it as important in Dublin?
Why would a builder and/or his solicitor refuse to furnish my solicitor with a Grant of Easements? Is there any advantage in doing this?
I got in early on the development and the same size apartment on Phase 2 is currently being sold for @ 15k more. The builder's solicitor made a statement that there were a lot of people behind me in the queue who "wouldn't cause trouble". Is it possible that they are holding out on this in order that I will walk away and they can pocket an extra 15k?
Any advice that anybody could provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
