No, it was snapped up quickly by the current would-be buyers (the only offer), but I gather their own frustration is growing too...it went 'sale agreed' within a week after listingWere any of the bidders cash bidders? Maybe there is a lower bid you could accept which would remove need for bank checks if the buyer themselves is satisfied all is ok.
Your buyers might very well pull out. Unfortunately that is out of your control. Issues around boundaries can and will be sorted out. That there is for the solicitor to sort out. If I was your neighbor I have to say I would not be signing anything until definitive legal boundaries were established.I apologise if I wasn't clear. We're trying to sell the house, and the lack of map/ land registry and/or boundary is holding up everything and delaying and possibly losing the sale. Neither our solicitor nor the buyers solicitor can figure it out (if THEY can't, I not sure how we can). They only 'think' that to have the neighbours sing a boundary declaration might be acceptable, but one (reluctant) neighbour has now gone on hols and is reluctant to sign anything, hence the title 'cannot sell the house' Hope this helps?
My husband is thinking of pulling the sale at this late stage.
We bought our house in 2008
Neither our solicitor nor the buyers solicitor can figure it out (if THEY can't, I not sure how we can).
I think banks are a lot tighter on this than in the past.Although it's possible that back in 2008, solicitors were so busy that they took shortcuts.
Many thanks, are you allowed give us the name of the solicitor and surveyor? No worries if not, but am truly frustrated at the lack of knowledge on behalf of the surveyor and solicitor(s) here.I encountered a boundary issue when selling my house last year and I employed a surveyor and solicitor to resolve the issue. Rectification of boundary was required which required a new map being drawn up and paperwork signed to assign part of another folio to my folio. Thankfully, I had contact details for previous owner, whose family owned the land in the next folio, and he appreciated that it was a mapping error (as the physical boundary was clear and the mapping was not accurate), so there was no issue having that signed etc . As seller, I had to cover all costs in relation to this. Once the paperwork was lodged that was sufficient in order to sell the property. the update itself could take months but once the paperwork is submitted that should be fine.
Hi Brendan, no, the original solicitor has long retired. I now see that many shortcuts were taken.Is the solicitor you used back then still in business?
You could ask them their opinion.
Although it's possible that back in 2008, solicitors were so busy that they took shortcuts.
Or that they told you about the problems but you forged ahead anyway.

We're sale agreed, with the initial smaller, refundable depositI would be thinking the same. There are other buyers out there
But are you Sale Agreed, contracts signed, or just Sale Agreed as in a bid accepted, but contracts not signed.
They are both based in the west of Ireland. If you are already engaging a solicitor though follow up with them first to see if they can outline the issue.Many thanks, are you allowed give us the name of the solicitor and surveyor?

Hi, We used a copy called APEX for a similar issue. It cost €1500 about 6 years ago.Many thanks, are you allowed give us the name of the solicitor and surveyor? No worries if not, but am truly frustrated at the lack of knowledge on behalf of the surveyor and solicitor(s) here.
Many thanks Silversurfer, we're giving it to the end of the month, thanks!Hi, We used a copy called APEX for a similar issue. It cost €1500 about 6 years ago.
We were selling a property recently and I had to get an engineer out to do maps. It had zero to do with neighbours. If the professional map shows the property why do neighbours have to state anything? It cost about €350 plus €30 for an 'Land Registry Compliant Map' based on OSI (ordnance Survey Ireland. It was on my solicitors instructions as they needed a 'land registry mapping for first registration of properties'.The problem is that neither solicitor can guide us as to how to get a boundary map/ register the property. Renting it is buying time to get the papers in order, but where to get this done? I know some people have said the solicitors can guide us, but they clearly cannot.
When you purchased:However, although its a bog-standard detached house in a housing estate, we have met nothing but obstacles about lack of a land map and/or land registry title. The prospective buyers are telling our solicitor that the bank wont sign off on their mortgage until the neighbours on either side had written statements saying that the boundaries are unchanged (they are, not a stick nor stone has been moved).
