Thanks for the update Andy, maybe this has been the case for others that seem to be going through quicker (they are actually with Sabdell rather than BOP)

Without this information it was just a bit frustrating as I'm sure you can understand.

Hi MPA,

 

Do you have a completion date yet? We are still waiting on one and I have to say the most frustrating thing is lack of info and seeing others with the same agent go through within a matter of weeks, you'd think things would be worked on in order of deposit paid but when then I've read loads of people that put deposits down in August (shutdown?!?!) and have since completed. Of course I don't begrudge these people at all, it's not their fault, it's just a shame some of us seem to have been waiting months and there is no real system of how the banks are working through applications or there is a system and we are not aware of it.

Maybe those that have applied for full finance have been delayed more than those putting in more cash? Could it be down to the actual property? It would be good to understand as it's so hard to believe the banks have no system of processing and just pluck applications as and when they like.

Hopefully things will get movong soon for the rest of us and yep I don't doubt once it happens it will be worth it but as others have mentioned the time between now and then is stressful and is kinda taking the shine off things.

 

Take Care,

Hiya,

We are in the process of buying via an agent, our mortgage is Banco Popular, we intially visited and decided on a property in May and transferred a deposit 1st June. We were more or less told that completition before August couldn't be guaranteed and unlikely but things would pick back up in September. We had flights booked August prior to buying so decided to cut them short to a week to allow us to have holidays to hopefully complete Sept.

We had our valuation done about 2.5 weeks ago and I chased them up again Friday gone only to be told they have no news. I agree it's really, really, frustrating, we were hoping to be out October kids holidays having 2 children but the closer we get the more the flights are going up and selling out!!

 

We used Condado Invest and Andy/Sara there have both been really good it's the lack of information and the slowness from the banks that is the most frustrating. From what I've read once you get a completition date you need to wait about 2 weeks to get your utilities switched on - not good!!

We just keep telling ourselves that it really will be worth it when it's all sorted but I totally agree it's bloody frustrating.

The agents claim to be onto the bank every day so not sure they can do much else and we have progressed a little with the valuation.

 

I think the properties that are going through fast are cash buyers, our agent also said that the bank seems to be pushing resales through first too.

Sorry I'm not much help we are more or less in the same situation as you!

 

Take Care,

Hi,

 

Thanks for the replies, yes it's external storage we need as we wont have completed so are not the owners of the property legally at this point.

 

I think we have found a solution, thanks for you help.
