Mortgage problems - global economic meltdown and Czech bureaucracy combined for great effect
We thought we had it sorted… after a ridiculously long process we had agreed the mortgage and drawn down the first payment to cover the cost of the roof and rewiring… until a call today.
Apparently, we have some buildings missing. Because of this, the Czech government register of property will not enter our mortgage on the property register. Potentially this means that we are not meeting our side of the mortgage agreement. And this means… that the bank could ask for it back. After all, banks need money at the moment.
We’re totally stressed out at the moment, with George missing and the house in such a mess. Extra pressure is the last thing we need. With my doom-mongering head on, I think they’ll take the house off us and sell it.
The missing buildings have been gone for years - but somebody should have let officials know about it. Let’s hope we can get this sorted out, and quickly - unlike the water permit, which took 18 months. My positive motivation is nearly completely destroyed.
