  1. Here is initial letter - the other pages will take a bit of work to remove personal details. 27 Dec Legal Letter.pdf
  2. Just managed to translate the document (had to sign up for a trial of Adobe, so will need to cancel before I get charged). It sounds like the court hearing is say they are ending the rental agreement with our tenants so that they can put the house up for auction without tenants in it. Looks like they have assigned us some kind of legal contact. Obviously we can't attend, as can't afford to travel and wouldn't understand what was happening anyway. My Dutch was OK while living there, but have been back here 5 years and not spoken it since. Also, to clarify further, the letter mentions our current address in the UK and the letter were sent to our UK address.
  3. Just to clarify, the court date is in the Netherlands, not the UK. ETA: I have scanned in the letter, but the version of Acrobat we used to help translate stuff was on my husband's work PC, which he no longer has access to since losing his job (obviously).
  4. We received a letter over Christmas which mentions a court date. We’re looking at it more closely today to translate it, but it looks like forgetting about it isn’t going to be an option.
  5. Hello! We moved back back to the UK 5 years ago, having left our Dutch house as a rental property, with the monthly rent covering the mortgage payments. Apparently we were ill-advised, as we understood that this rental agreement could be long term, but apparently there was a limit of a few years. The mortgage company have made it clear that we need to sell the property, and despite our tenant offering to buy the property, they are pressing on with the sale of the house. We have received a letter detailing when the property will be auctioned and a statement that recovery of any shortfall will begin within a couple of days of the property sale. So, my questions are: 1) Can we expect bailiffs appearing at the door in the new year, or will we be given the opportunity to come to an arrangement about repayment of the shortfall (no clue how this would work, my husband is about to lose his job, and I work part time whilst caring for our young daughter - but that’s background information). 2) I would imagine that the average solicitor in the UK would have limited knowledge in this area - where could we find some legal advice? And how much might this cost? Thank you very much for any advice - as you can imagine, this is a very stressful situation, made worse by my husband finding out only a few days ago that he will lose his job before the end of the year.
