Our dilemma
We're sitting in the lounge of our rented apartment. No boxes. But we haven't yet sussed out how to work the TV. There are still a couple of boxes in the kitchen, and a whole lot of stuff to fetch from storage in Limerick. But the apartment is starting to feel like home. We brought my espresso coffee machine and the coffee grinder - they're now functional in the kitchen.
And we've been shopping - dealing with a few deficiencies, such as non-functioning bedside lights due to blown bulbs, no bathroom bin, a shortage of places to hang things. And we've stocked the fridge and freezer.
But tomorrow our priority is a visit to our potential purchase, to look at the southern boundary. The lower photo in the collage shows the "conflict" regarding this. Our surveyor (called an engineer in Ireland) has been to look. The blue line is where he thinks the plans passed by the local planning authority show the boundary. The pink line is where our vendor thought the property ended, and what we thought (after viewing a couple of times) we were buying. The red line is what the land registry shows, and our vendor appears to have thought the easiest solution was to move the property boundary to coincide, without really considering that this might seem deceptive to his buyers. We would like the situation to be sorted back to the pink line. But we'll see how we feel tomorrow in case we have to settle (with financial recompense, we think) for the red line.
