Hi, my first ever post on any forum. I am acting as trustee for my brother Paul who is on long term disability for many years. We are buying a small house from a bank(EBS) that was reposed by the same bank last year. The house is Sale Agreed with us and deposit paid in early march 2015. We are awaiting contracts from banks solicitors for 3 months now and bank solicitors say they are waiting on deeds from bank. Three months have passed since deposit paid. I was looking at land-registry information about this house and we see that there is a Mortgage recorded with bank. This is expected but there is also a judgement on the deeds from another bank(Bank of Scotland) for €14,000. The people buying our house have only until July 2nd on their loan approval. Is it normal for the deeds to be held up for so long. I have heard that there is some PANEL somewhere that has the deeds and have yet to make a decision. Surely a bank cannot put a house for sale with deeds in trouble. Help of any kind would be welcome.
