What is a Family Loan Agreement?

What if there is a charge on a property particularly a judgment mortgage and it is delaying the resale? What is the best course of action in terms of advising buyers since it is essentially a 3rd party scenario and out of their hands, apart from chasing for updates?

In circumstances where there is a non-owning cohabitant with an owner (solo purchaser on mortgage) and the family home declaration is signed by both for the bank would that hinder them if the non-owner ever wants to buy a property as a first-time buyer? Or is it better for the family home declaration to be sworn as “single”?

A purchaser has noticed that there is a pathway at the back of the property (covered by a fence) that is actually a driveway to another property (vendor's primary residence), they would like to make use of this as it is a shortcut to a local walkway. Legally how does one go about this?

For new builds where the property is being sold as-is without a kitchen and the clients will have to install it themselves will this impact the drawdown of bank funds? Is this something that 1) gets installed before closing during snagging or 2) after closing?

A buyer is purchasing a property and trying to get a loan offer with a bank, but was previously married - now divorced (2014), the buyer has no original documents apart from a scan of their divorce decree issued by the High court of another country.

How would someone know if a divorce from another country can be recognised in Ireland?

A question about Family Home declarations - some purchasers get push back from 3rd party solicitors refusing to execute the FHD as they are not their primary solicitor and have advised clients to go to their purchasing solicitor - is this usual for practising solicitors?

A question about Vendors asking for proof of funds. What if there is a private deal that has no auctioneer, do the purchasers have to provide their bank statements to the vendors as they already have their loan offer in place? Basically, the vendor wants to see proof of source of funds - would this be common for purchases in private deals?

Buyers ask if they are obliged to be members of the management company or can they get out of it?

A buyer is looking to purchase a house ( both being sold by an estate agent and on an auction website - seems to be whatever sells first) but was warned by the estate agent that she might find it hard to get a mortgage on the house as the septic tank is on land owned by a neighbour. The buyer heard rumours the neighbour would be willing to sell the land. Does the buyer have a chance at getting the mortgage or would the buyer be better off avoiding the property?

A question about Source of Funds - If a home is being purchased by two clients, both on the loan offer, but only one is employed and the other doesn’t contribute to savings then do the latter need to provide statements of account?
