the notary and the loan and the architect

This morning we had a meeting with the notary to order the Grundschuld. This is basically an entry in the property office of the town of Mettmann that shows that the bank actually owns the land and the house.

Additionally we mailed the full application for the loan to our financial adviser to forward on to the bank.

The design plan to apply for the building permit arrived from the architect today and we will have to look at it over the weekend.
