Yes. We are doing snags today. It all depends in what number you are as they started from 27 then 26 etc.

Thank you for the updation

Got a update from Joe “The painters are in 17
The snagging team are in 21 so if not this month it will be next month
We are going as fast as we can” i am in 15 and my loan offer going to expire on october last. Don’t have idea what will be the next.

Is they really started snagging for 21, anyone have idea?

It depends if Joe is talking about they internal snags or the one submitted by customer.

Our loan offer is also till the end of October and we are prepared to extend offer again. That is only solution we have.

I would say that if you are close to moving in/getting the keys your bank will extend the current loan offer by 30 days. I know mine were willing to do that for me.

Pretty sure they are talking about their own folks getting the house from 21 and under ready for snagging as currently the snagging has only commenced for the bungalows 27-22. I am snagging tomorrow and was called last Thursday. So while it is likely the houses starting 21 may get called by next week to end of September or even early Oct, you can never tell with all those updates what is actually going to happen.
If your loan offer is expiring I’d suggest get it renewed for 6 months rather than extended as I believe the extension will be for 30days, at least what it was in my case with AIB and you may end up putting yourself in quite a tight spot in case the drawdown doesn’t happen again after 30 days extension. It will be an unnecessary hassle to apply for loan offer furnishing a ton of documentation again and all that stuff that goes with it.

Sorry for misunderstanding, by extend I mean renew it for another 6 months.

We have done our snagging today. When we were on site I didn't see to many people around houses from 21 and under. We spoke with Joe and he advised if there will not be to many snags on our list they should be done by 2-3 weeks. Mostly they were cosmetic/cleaning related things in our house. So now finger crossed🤞 as that all we can do 😊

One more thing don't know if this is in all houses/bungalows however hob size in our is 75cm not 60cm. My husband measure the hole in countertop and it is 75cm. So have this in mind and check in your house before ordering appliances.

hi, has anyone used or is aware of Heffernan Woodcraft?? Looking for some reviews

KMH24

hey guys, has anyone here tried an induction hob in the houses ? Just wondering as they are quite deep themselves, is the hob space deep enough for them to fit in??
thanks!

Hi

I'm in and I had problems with that. The hob won't fit in it as it stands. You will have to cut it out yourself or get a carpenter to cut it out to sit the hob in.

KMH24

Thank you! Did you have to move your cutlery drawer somewhere else due to hob being directly on top ? We were advised by Telfords to do this with the induction..
Can I also ask, have you or anyone here experienced noticeable noise / vibration from the AC unit out the back garden when trying to heat up house / water ?

I think what @06750931 is talking about is the depth and you @KMH24 are talking about the height. To answer your question I think it would really depend which induction brand/model you have got because they come anywhere ranging from 1.8cm, 2.2 cm,4.8cm and upto 5 cm or more even. Ideally less than equal to 5cm should not force you to move the cutlery tray is what I think from the measurements I took last week but what do I know until I get my own installed.

Did anyone get any updates on the snagging? Spoke with Joe and he said we are going as fast we can and will contact when ready. There is too many delays and we are doing our best..

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122624569#Comment_122624569

Did you mean updates after the snagging or are you waiting for the first snagging? We only got our snagging done last week so hopefully by end of month we get some updates I suppose.

Irnd

I meant first snagging...This week was supposed to be House 20 but Joe is not saying anything...

najra

We did first snag last week only and we are in bungalows 22-27. As @DoctorRV we hope to get update on that by the end of the month.

Did you get email from EA that first snagging for your row start this week? There is high chance Joe was talking about developer internal snagging.

Irnd

We haven't got any email from EA. Joe mentioned last week house 21 was being snagged last week (external snag) and this week will be 20...

You will get email/call from EA with notification that you can go ahead with snagging. Joe is not contacting buyers directly for snags as far as I know.

I think you are right. I am in the row of 13 -21, still waiting to get information from EA for snagging.

And One of my friend got a call from EA, they were saying Bungalow 22 is available for sale.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122626419#Comment_122626419

Yes EA sent me an email a week before it was ready to snag and then again when it was actually ready to snag. I had this feeling either 22/25 was available! as I saw the listing up for it recently…albeit now for 65k more now !!

I saw it on EA website Kilshaning 2025 for €450k 😮 I suspected it's 22 as Joe was saying somebody done snagging for 25 when we were there Monday last week. Unless they will be building more houses...

Just received a desnag message from EA stating we can desnag from Friday as Joe is ready to signoff from Friday.

I had visit today, noticed that hob depth/height space is maximum 3cm. And I checked the hob size in different shops in online, Almost have depth more than 3cm. So I think we need to do some changes in cutlery tray.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122631725#Comment_122631725

Yes that maybe the case with 60cm hobs, however some hobs suitable for 75cm openings come at ~2.2cm height as well. Ofcourse they come with a higher price tag !

Anyone know which house is currently getting snagged? We are waiting for snagging for last 3 weeks. Joe keeps on moving to the next week, this time he just said "soon" ..... Don't know how long that meant

They are doing snags in 22-27 as far as I know. In which row you are?
