Hi
We are buying a house that is a probate. The house was put for sale in September, the first buyers pulled out (asbestos issue which we are ok to get fixed). We went sale agreed for it in early February. The communication with the vendor's solicitor is brutal. He won't return calls or emails from our solicitor nor from the EA. Anyway, we eventually got confirmation that the probate had been applied for on the 11th of April (I know, it's late considering that the house was on sale in September).
We were told it would be 4 weeks for the probate to be granted. It was supposed to come this week, now (after putting pressure on everyone) the solicitor says next week. We can't do much but wait, but this is getting frustrating, not to mention costly for us as we are renting (we just sold our own apartment). I know the situation with probates was dreadful until recently, loads of delays, but our own solicitor mentioned that it was much quicker nowadays. Is this really the case? Has anyone had any recent experience with probate in Dublin?
Thanks
