Just received an e-mail from our solicitor saying that when she receives a letter from our bank confirming that they are giving us a mortgage then she will forward the letter to the builders and they will release the keys :thumbsup: OMG :blink: Am I dreaming :ohmy: I'm shaking here!

Oh - and another thing, we have also been told they are fitting solar panels as it has been a legal requirement since October 2006 on new builds - so maybe the wait was worth it :)

This is a part of the e-mail we received from our solicitor last week.....

The title deed is not ready yet because there is still some paperwork missing. As you are taking a mortgage for the final payment, it is obvious that your bank is not going to release any funds to you until the deeds are signed. For this reason, the Developer may accept to let you in the premises if we show him a certificate from your bank confirming you have been granted a mortgage and for how much.

Could you ask your mortgage broker to get this certificate? When I get it I will approach the Developer in order to ask for the keys.

I did ask Ian for a certificate to have it in file just in case you decided to take possession of the property but I have not received it yet.
The problem now is --- I can't get hold of our mortgage broker because he was out of the office all last week :curse:

Why is it when you need anyone urgently, be it solicitors, mortgage brokers etc they are out of the office...for not ONE day....but a whole WEEK !!!!! :curse:

Mate....keep smiling hun....at least something is happening, you're not at a total standstill !

I can't believe all the things that can go wrong or hold up a move, it's such a nightmare.

Keep us uptodate....

Lionda,

I'm excited for you, I don't know your journey so far, but reading between the lines it sound like it has been a rocky one. I'm that excited for you that I've put the kettle on, but I've a feeling you want something much stronger...:p

Out of interest - did you use a spanish bank for your spanish mortgage, or one of the english euro mortgages? I'm at the other end of your journey (wish me luck!) and would some mortgage hints.

Good luck!!!!

Kettle's whistling...
