Hi, I was hoping someone could help me please as I cannot get through to my solicitor (as has been the case for the entire selling process).
I found out from my auctioneer in the middle of last week that my property sold. The new purchasers have the keys and moved in at the end of last week. I got an email on Friday from my solicitor to confirm that the property sold. I haven't been able to speak with my solicitor much at all. She has consistently been 'unavailable' to take my calls and hasn't been responding to my emails.
My query is this:
The mortgage account that I had for the property is still showing the full mortgage amount. As in, it's not cleared. It's as though I still have the mortgage. But the property is sold!
Is this normal? Is there a timeframe from the closing of the sale to when the mortgage account gets cleared? I just cannot understand why the mortgage account is showing that I still owe in excess of €350,000 when the property has been sold?
And also, am I going to have to pay the mortgage amount plus interest from the time the purchasers got the keys until my mortgage account gets cleared? Totally confused. Don't want to pay the mortgage on a property I no longer own.
Thanks
