Hi all,
I bought an apartment 2 years ago in Dublin. Transaction was smooth and solicitor did his job. I'm paying mortgage since. I am not Irish and I would expect a document from the property registration office stating that I own the place (at least this is the way it's done in my country, correct me if I am wrong if things don't work this way in Ireland). I asked solicitor and told me that he filed form 17 to the Property Registration Authority. He sent me copy of the form and told me that authority normally produces the document after at least a year. It's been 2 years now. I asked my solicitor a few months back and told me he would follow up with the authority. My solicitor hasn't been very responsive since, despite my repeated attempts to know why the document is being delayed so much.
I am starting to get worried about not having that document after 2 years, especially after the solicitor acting on behalf of management company told me that they haven't been able to find my property details in the property authority.
Can someone please clarify the following?
1. Is that normal that it takes that long for the document to be produced?
2. Should I be worried about my solicitor not being very responsive on this matter and the fact details of the property have not been found by the other solicitor?
3. What would you advise as next step?
Thank you!
