Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

KJ2023

hi guys , I honestly think they say what they want us to hear , I’m no.34 and I emailed yesterday as I have drawn down and I’m good to go so wanted to see what was the hold up on their end and joe informed me there’s no such thing as second snag and that they were on 34 yesterday 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The access is not blocked off. Just your house may be locked if no works are ongoing.

They have to open road as they already gave keys to some people so access is necessary. However road still need second layer of tar. We were there yesterday evening and for me bungalows look like ready for snag just cleaning needed. And as you all said they are telling us what they think we want to hear however I would like to know true state of works and timing for bank as we also need to extend loan again in that case. Plus bank is asking every few weeks if we get some news about completion date.

Hi

I was talking to the lads on site on Friday all the terraced houses will be handed over within the next 2 weeks. Not sure if you can go by that but they were fairly certain saying it.

Hello All,

I was called for 2nd Snag last week.

The house was properly cleaned and all the snag points raised were resolved as well.

The Road work is also, finished and ready for use. You can drive up to the estate.

Property between: 43-48

Hello again!!

I'm currently looking into getting new flooring and appliances. I'm curious if any of you have recently gone through this process or are currently doing so. Specifically, I'm looking for places where I can get products that have detailed measurements available. Any recommendations or advice on where to find good options would be greatly appreciated!

for appliances, I went with Harvey Norman but someone in the group suggested another seller. You may want to read older messages. All appliances come as standard sizes and should be fine for your house except for hob and extractor fan. Both should be 60cm and would require a bit of cutting to get it installed.

for the flooring, I am still looking for options and have seen huge variance if you opt for a shop that sells and fits vs getting your own fitter and buying separately. I will let others comment as well

Hey @helper1989 Could you please elaborate a little more on the variance you mentioned. Perhaps be useful to know.

as an example:

this what I have locked it for at HN

helper1989

sorry, you meant on the flooring. I took a quote from a shop that provides flooring and fitting and they gave me a total quote of 7k. This was for SPC flooring for both floors.

i got a quote for labour separately and material and was given 1.2k for labour and 3k for SPC flooring

Wow! That much difference in pricing! Thats good to know. Thanks 🙏

helper1989

in summary, do your own research and ask for a break down of costs being charged.

I think the standard is 15-20 euros per sq meters for fitting

helper1989

great news! When are you moving in then?

Do people 2nd snag themselves or call a professional again ? Are the snags taken care of to your satisfaction?

helper1989

there is no point in calling a professional for the 2nd snag because they are generally good in addressing the major issues.

anything minor that they leave or ignore has to be accepted because they would then put the house in queue and address the snags after they are done working on existing houses.

In our case, they left out few minor things like filling gaps etc which we will have to take care on our own

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi guys,

Just wondering for those of you who have gotten keys, how long did it take from completing your second snag to getting keys?
Thanks!

Hi

There wasn't really a second snag, it was just whether you were happy with the initial snag and happy that all the jobs or main issues were addressed. If you find any issues outstanding etc after the initial snag they won't address them straight away you'll have another wait as they are extremely busy. There was nothing really with mine everything was addressed a couple of issues after getting the keys and all addressed by the guys on site, their amazing I have to say. Joe is so helpful and anything you ask him to do he will try his utmost to get it sorted for you. I had my keys straight after they came back from holidays, signed off on the inital snagging before they went. It wont take long unless you yourself have any issues and how quick your solicitor is.

Hey All,

Does anyone know any fitter who can do the fittings for the Chimney Fans?

Really appreciate the suggestions 🙏

Did you have the "Valuation Report" done by the banks valuation panel, after the snags from first snag were fixed or do you do that simultaneously alongside the first snag ?
