I want to throw this out for the moment, it is one thing that totally drives me crazy and I think its about time something was done about it.
Auctioneers go out there and sell properties for clients - fab, has to be done! But auctioneers obviously do not know whether in fact title to the property is in the sellers name, whether they have planning permission and certs of compliance where applicable, whether there are any right of ways/easements registered over the property etc etc etc!
Now the client comes along to their solicitor, and big bad wolf solicitors seems to cause a problem with the sale because of some old "title" problem!
The solicitor, who is now the baddie, delays everything, works to the bone to solve any problem and gets bad publicity and mouth, grief and yet people still complain!
AUCTIONEERS need to know before taking properties on their books that title is 100% in order, and all supporting documentation is in order for contracts to issue immediately when a sale is agreed and it should be down to the auctioneer to ensure all is in order before he/she agrees the sale and informs people that the deal will close without delay - the auctioneer could not possibly know this!
To the public - please ensure that if you decide to sell your property GO to your solicitor first to check your title
Auctioneers needs to take on more responsibility in selling properties - in this day and age it is insufficient to just show people around a property and take no responsibility once the deal is agreed - this matter needs to be looked at seriouslly in Ireland
