I was hoping that I would be writing this entry with the knowledge that we had completed our purchase, as it's now over 2 years since we signed our contract.
When canton Valais changed the regulations regarding purchases by foreigners (again), we decided to write directly to the canton and ask when we would be getting our permit. We did not expect a reply, but received one teling us that our permit would be issued the following week. That was quite a coincidence I think.
Around 10 days later the solicitor who works for the Notary emailed to say that the permit would be granted and requested the remaining 50% of the funds. Since then, all is quiet, I sent several emails to the Estate Agent, and got no response, pity really, apparently we need an electrical inspection, and he's the man with the knowledge, oh, and insurance too.
So, we continue to wait, in limbo, we have now paid 100% of the cost, plus charges, and still have nothing to show for it. Welcome to our 3rd year on the permit list.
