The 2009 liability expired on 31 July 2021. The same will happen for 2010 on 31 July 2022 and so on, but this is not much use to you. So you have to worry only about 2010, 2011, and 2012.namely 2009 to June 2012
Put as much effort as you can into finding them and asking (even paying) them to help you to get an exemption certificate. They will need to dig up old utility bills from the period to prove it was their PPR and deal with the local authority directly.and they have left the country.
If all else fails you can simply pay the NPPR and late fees yourself which will come in at a bit under €6,000 I think. This might be better than letting the sale fall through and going back on the market and you will only have the same problem with a new buyer.Has anyone experienced this dilemma and found a way around it as I have a buyer but I can't close the sale without the certificate and the sale will fall through.
Correct.The 2009 liability expired on 31 July 2021.
Better still, the 2010 charge expires on 31st March 2022 and on 31st March 2023 for the 2011 change and so on. So the OP is nearly there for 2010 and it's only 2011 and 2012 that are in play.The same will happen for 2010 on 31 July 2022 and so on,
I wonder would the purchaser accept an undertaking from your solicitor to hold the amount of the 2011/12 charge in trust, to be used to discharge the nppr if necessary, and to remit to you after 31st March 2024 when all charges will have expired.but this is not much use to you. So you have to worry only about 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Thank you - I didn't realise!Better still, the 2010 charge expires on 31st March 2022 and on 31st March 2023 for the 2011 change and so on. So the OP is nearly there for 2010 and it's only 2011 and 2012 that are in play.

I'm not so sure. I've known at least one case where a judgment mortgage (which was in dispute) on the vendor's property was dealt with in this way. The vendors solicitor undertook to hold back an amount equal to the judgment mortgage, plus a few thousand for miscellaneous costs, pending resolution of issues around the JM. Everyone was happy and the vendor had a bit more leverage to resolve matters with the Judgment creditor.It doesn't work like that. You are either exempt from the NPPR liability or the NPPR liability needs to be cleared at the point of sale. No solicitor will let it go through otherwise.
I am not sure it's that simple.As an unpaid nppr acts as a charge on the property (akin to a mortgage) it seems like a similar arrangement should work.
I fully agree. It was put together in a blind panic when the public finances were in freefall. It imposes impossible obligations on innocent parties like the OP. I'm glad it will be history soon.Good riddance, I say, it was a horrible and unjust tax.
So there is a legal obligation on the vendor to supply the certificate. There could be some professional obligation on either party's solicitor to ensure compliance (am speculating).
I've had this with a few bodies recently when asking for documents via email for an elderly relative.Do you have the meter readings? If not just create a throwaway email address and email npprrequests@esb.ie requesting readings and sign off as previous owner. They email those across and you need readings for the application to local council. You will need to know name of person who was on the bill.
