Garage Extension Holds Sale Funds | Dublin News

A homeowner sold their 1994-built house with a garage extension—approved by the original landowner and a solicitor—but the buyers’ solicitor only raised the extension issue after the sale, freezing €10k in funds. The sellers, who trusted the legal process, now wonder if a solicitor can legally hold money for three years, especially since registration of the extension is pending. Unclear whether it’s a map correction or planning permission snag, the sellers need to review their contract and consult their own solicitor to clarify responsibilities, required steps, and timelines. A quick check of the contract’s special conditions may reveal if registration was mandatory. If it’s a bureaucratic delay with the land registry, a formal request from the seller’s solicitor could help unblock the process and release the funds.
