Internal review on BOI repossessed house

dbagman

Hi. I'm currently sat in limbo sale agreed for months now. Iv been told the house is gone for an 'internal review' with no sign of an end in sight. Sale agreed 3 months, in review the last 2. My solicitor is none the wiser and all the while our lease is drawing to a close with only an option for a further 12 months on the table. I'm beyond frustrated at this stage. How can this be allowed happen in the midst of a housing crisis? Is there anything that can get this process moving any faster? And what is actually going on? Is there a chance it might be taken off the market altogether or what? It wouldn't kill BOI to even try be a bit more informative as to whats going on behind the scenes.

My solicitor is blue in the face trying to follow up on this. He is a personal friend of my girlfriend so is telling us exactly whats happening as it happens. And I can tell you now he has literally no knowledge of whats going on. In fact we only found out there was an internal review taking place when I contacted the estate agent to see of he had any idea what was taking so long and he found out. It was me that then had to inform my solicitor. There has been little or no contact from the banks side. Can you even tell me what it is this review is for? Or an average idea of how long they take? We talking months more? Years?

You need to ask the question higher up the food chain.  A quick google will give you several names, then it is a matter of phoning them and trying a pit of charm with their PAs. Can work wonders when you get to talk to the right people.

Hi dbagman,

Thank you for your post here, we completely understand your frustration on this matter.

As mentioned all internal reviews are carried out on a case by case basis therefore we’d be unable to provide you with information on how long this can take. It will be necessary for your solicitor to follow up on this with Bank of Ireland on your behalf.

Thank you,

you wont give my solicitor anything. Hes even further out of the loop than I am. Case by case basis means nothing. Some information from your side to me or my solicitor is all Im asking for. A timeframe. An idea whats going on. How difficult can that be? You realise this is peoples lives you're messing with here. The stress this has taken on me and my girlfriend. Were in limbo. Do we take out another lease and risk losing €1200 deposit if we get house in meantime and have to break said lease? Do we give our notice and move home in the hope it will be concluded soon? I assume it wont take another year.  The best part is the house were trying to buy had already gone sale agreed and fallen through. I assume for the same reason. So you'd imagine this review has already taken place. Or at least started. So it hardly has to commence from step 1 again. Who can I contact directly about this matter?
