The day after the offer went in we were informed by the bank that the offer had been accepted! After a really shit week, this news was most welcome.
We spent the next week chasing the agent for the casteral number so we could check out the situation with the electric. In Spain if there are debts on the electric, it goes with the house and the next owner has to pay them before being re-connected (for a huge cost).
Four days and 5 chase ups later we finally receive the casteral number. We already had the address for the property but the casteral number showed a different address but the right property? (Only in Spain).
Phoned Iberdrola (the Spanish electric company) who didn't have any details of the property ever being connected at that address. Now, this could be because the property has been disconnected for many years and its gone from the system or it could be the wrong address. What do we do now????
In the mean time the bank were demanding more details of finances which haven't yet been submitted as the quarter only finished last week, so more delays. However the papers for the mortgage application are now signed and a mortgage application fee (€1000) has been paid.
Meeting the builder tomorrow to discuss Daddios renovations that he wants.
