Selling my house - taking in charge issue

[dublin100]

Hello all,
My house is almost sold. The purchaser's solicitor has asked if the estate is taken in charge. The answer is no, but the bond holder (the builder has gone bust), has agreed a programme of works with the council. Once these are complete, the estate will be taken in charge.
Should or could this cause a problem? There is a management company in operation and management agents maintaining the estate.
Thanks

"Should or could this cause a problem?"

Yes. This is an issue. When the estate is taken in charge, it will not be an issue. Until it is taken in charge, anything could happen.

It all depends on how keen your purchaser is. And whether his lender regards it as a deal breaker.
