Hi!

I bought my first house from a private seller back in August 2005. Its been six months since, but I haven’t got any documents saying whats what, other than the first contract that both parties signed and then a single sheet saying ‘A sold property X to B’ or something to that effect.

During conveyance, solicitor did tell me all the original documents (deeds?) would go to FirstActive (bank I have mortgage with), but I was expecting a bit more documentation than what I have, after spending nearly everything I have! Am I right to expect more docs, or is this normal?

Thanks a million,

MP.
 
Re: Documents

If the property is mortgaged then the lender holds the deeds until the mortgage is cleared. You should double check with your solicitor and lender that they have these documents and that everyting is in order. You don't really get any documents into your hands normally other than correspondence and forms relating to the mortgage etc.
