Not yet. Last update I got from EA below.

"They are currently snagging and preparing to close the Dunluce terrace properties in Park lane.

They are getting ready to tar the roads and footpaths next week.

Joe has confirmed as follows for the Kilshannigs and I will let you know when he is ready to start snagging.

It is unlikely I will have any updates on this until after builders holidays which commence 19/7 x 2 weeks.

FROM JOE: Last quarter probably, September late"

It gets me worried we need to extend our mortgage offer again 😞

Hi helper 1989 there is someone after moving into 43....so I don't know why you haven't heard anything??

helper1989

thanks for the info. I will follow up with the EA on Monday. I am not sure if others in that row have been contacted.

You should hear next week for sure they look finished.

Went around today..28-34 seemed all cleaned up and ready..perhaps for second snag!

The tar road outside needs another layer.

27-25 - Had the concrete steps poured and set at the back.. immediately outside the kitchen doors over the previously poured concrete patio. Electrical works for kitchen appliances seemed to be underway in all the bungalows.

Most of the plastics wraps around windows were cleaned up as well.

24-22 - Did not have the concrete steps poured yet..although the mould for it was laid down perhaps ready for next week.

Anyone know the measurements for the fridge hob and microwave and dishwasher in the town houses

helper1989

the hob is 60cm and the remaining appliances including the fridge are all standard sizes. If you go to any electronics stores, Harvey Norman, Telford etc, they will be able to give you a quote.

In my experience, Harvey Norman has reasonable prices

06750931

I got a hob 60cm wouldn't fit due to the depth.....nightmare…

hi!
anyone in row 28-34 done with the second snag yet ?

helper1989

@06750931 - that is unusual. What’s the way around for this then. I thought they are all standard sizes

06750931

You'll have to cut it out...or else it won't be flush with the countertop

Just fyi…Electro City is comparatively cheaper for same appliance models available at Telfords/Harvey Norman.

helper1989

that’s good to know, thank you so much!

helper1989

for this who have moved in, when did you buy home insurance? Was that needed for drawdown? If so, how did you decide on the start date?

thank you

helper1989

thank you!

I was only on the phone yesterday to get the home insurance sorted. They advised me that when I know for certain that I'm getting the keys and moving in to ring them and give them the start date and then can start the policy then. Might not be the same for all insurers 🤷‍♂️

I got update from EA and Joe that they are currently doing snagging in number 29 so probably you will hear something soon.

Did your bank do final valuation before you were call for snagging as we cannot go with home insurance without final valuation?

Hi

Any updates? ☺️

Update from EA today:

“We are currently snagging no.30 & working backwards 

We should be calling yours in for snagging hopefully early to mid September”

najra

I'm confused by these updates. Yesterday we got info they are doing 29, today they are apparently in 30 and doing snags backwards... So either I don't know what backwards means or they don't know what and where they are doing 🤣

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122505236#Comment_122505236

I’d imagine they are going higher to lower but who tf knows what they are upto..judging by the different updates we are getting from EA. I’m not 28-34 I’m just a bit down the road.

Yeah I suppose they’re living up to how they have been historically as seen throughout this thread.

Unfortunately this uncertainty means applying for mortgage extension AGAIN for me! Such a pain but it is what it is.
