We have applied for and got a loan offer for a mortgage for a self build(Documents sent back to bank last week). We have started digging out the site last week and all was going well. I have just been off the phone to my solicitor who has told me we have a bit of a problem. We are getting a site from my dad and the transfer process began at the start of the year with my dads solictior, I signed for the transfer and assumed all was good and the transfer had gone through fine (I didn't hear anything otherwise). We proceeded at getting a mortgage based on the site being in my name. But now my solicitor has told me that the land transfer still hasn't gone to the revenue and that we won't be able to drawdown on the mortgage until it has gone to the Land registry not to mind getting it through the revenue first!!! According to the solicitor the land being in my name or lodged to the land registry is a prerequisite for the first drawdown. Is there anyway the bank can let me drawdown the mortgage or is it a case of stopping until it is all sorted??
