Thanks Leo. I'm not sure who's doing what or if it's just miscommunication.
E.g. my solicitor is asking for proof of registration with Irish Water, which the vendor's basically says it's non of my business. I've read a thread here about a Certificate of Discharge from Irish Water. I see that this is legally required, at least in theory. Can someone confirm this is still the case in practice?
A more important issue has to do with Fire Certificates. I remember the surveyor telling me to request a fire certificate to certify that the building complies with regulations. Can I ask how many of these certificates there are? Because the other side says there is only the initial one before construction takes place, which we have, whereas from my side and the surveyor I understand that there should be a second one to say that what was built is in compliance. I know that the developers were the same as the Croke Park apartments, which didn't seem to comply with regulations.
There is also disagreement in that my solicitor has requested some documents that the vendor's says they will provide upon closing. Copies of some of these have been provided.
All in all I don't know where to stand to be honest.
