Yes there are yearly fees. The amount depends on house size and is in the contracts. It's not too bad though.

I think 3 beds is 270 euro. They will cut the grass (front only) and that's it!

Hi, has anyone applied for the HTB scheme? How does it work with the full amount split into purchase price and contract price? What documents did you have to upload with revenue? Have they given you the 5% from the full amount? Thanks

You will get money based on the tax you paid for the last 4 yrs, up to 5% of the purchase price or 20K.

There are two stages, Application stage & Claim stage
Copy of the signed contract needs to be uploaded at the claim stage.

If You sign the contract before December 2016, You have to apply before 31st march (i think so, please make sure)

Thank You

Hi there,
Upload both documents and treat it as one total. I think during the process I did make a note of the maths but basically you will have no problem. I had the same concern but no issues.

Yes you will get 5% from the TOTAL amount.

Virgin Media has good deals at the moment for complete packages starting from €35/month for 6 months.
Best option for quality and price in my opinion

Thanks Lunamia,
There is some rep on Boards from Virgin, I looked up his posts yesterday and the prices were mad.
I've probably been getting it too easy for a while, but I did get advertising post through my door a few times that were more in line with the price you stated (for first 6 months). I also noticed Sky had a deal on their site but that is coming to end today or tomorrow.

Hi guys,

do anyone know what is doing the bulldozer at the begin of Station Road, right after the roundabout on the left?

Seems they're preparing for a street?

P.S.
I'm not talking about the Hansfield Wood one, close the station,
but the first gate on the left from Barnwell after the roundabout, going towards the station.

Is Panda the only company operating in the area?

QUESTION - MORTGAGE / HOUSE PAYMENT RELATED
Hi everyone.
Can I ask if anyone else has held back funds from the builders in order to ensure handover without having the snags completely finished. For example the landscaping works or cracked window frames etc which are to be placed on a Undertaking List?
Any advice would be great.

danb85

From my understanding you do not have to draw down you mortgage until you are 100% happy with the house. I believe when the builder say they completed the work outlined on the snaglist, you can get the snaglist redone (at your own expense) to make sure everything was addressed. This will delay your move in date, but I personally would rather that, than have issues down the line or chasing builders for months to sort the issues.

This is what I read up on, I have not experienced this first hand, so maybe someone who has can respond as I would also be interested to know.

I would also be interested to know what experiences curent residents had as I done my snagging already and I am checking the work next week.

Did the builders rectify all issues or did they want residents to sign off without works being fully completed?

bbari

My personal experience.....
They sorted out all of the issues on the snag list before the sign off. However I came across few issues months after moving in and they were very co-operative and efficient to fix the issues I'd. Based on my experience, I wouldn't be too worried to get the keys if they have promised to fix the issues. I doubt that you can hold off on to a certain amount and get the keys.

Hi

Can any one suggest is it good idea or bad idea to put the pigeon hole on the shared wall, will that effect the bank surveyor report or building rating or even my own snaglist from an engineer.

Has any one did a pigeon hole in their bathrooms with sharedwall?

Your not allowed a pigeon hole on the shared wall
