Estate house, bought in 1979, located in Dublin. Having cleared the mortgage the bank returned just the Land Certificate. We are considering selling and our solicitor said that we would need various documents eg. evidence of compliance with planning permissions, site maps, house plans etc. Despite an exhaustive search the bank cannot locate any supporting documents.
Our solicitor says we need to employ an architect or engineer to investigate whatever planning/measurements/mapping etc issues are involved so as to ensure everything is in order. Around 1982 the builder was still on site and we extended over the garage under an overall estate planning permission which gave that option. However we have no paperwork for this so may need to apply for retention. We will need someone who is familiar with old planning requirements and possibly having to re-measure and draw maps of the site and house? I think an architect is what we need and would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have experience in the area.
