Buying a new built house

    Haven't heard of it lately but I know people pre-recession who negotiated a lower price based on taking a builders finish house rather then one with a kitchen etc.

    Very hard to do now with large developments and the new BCAR Regulations and Assigned Certifier sign off. On a one off build, this can be done, but not on a multi unit development which requires completion certs from the LA.

    VAT of 13.5% is the main reason (e.g. a new build listed on PPR for €100,000 actually costs €113,500). Some houses have changes made also or have extras that may not be obvious or visible. I know people who were charged more for larger garden, extra car park space, side gate, etc.

    I wonder does some social housing also go for less?

    ya, I'd factored in the VAT and this definitely explains some of them (as per post) but not all. Good point about the garden/car park spaces etc I hadn't thought of that. I guess I was mainly wondering about ones which were seemign to be cheaper than asking price though rather than more expensive. Main reason I'd been comparing was I thought a couple looked cheaper than what we'd paid in our development, even factoring in the local in the development as prices vary on a particular house type according to location. Was just curious, looks like more going on in background so maybe no point me worrying over it!

    We should be getting keys next week :)

    There's a lot of organising for a new house! Floors, carpets, bins, TV aerials, phone line installation! Very busy few days!

    Hi all
    It seems that you all have good experience for buying new built house. I will definitely go through the all the chat as I have gone through some of the msgs they are quite helpful. I need a advice from you as I am first time buyer and I wanted to buy a 3 bed semi detached house but is unavailable instead I have been told that there is one left 3 bed end of terrace house which will be ready to move in by feb/march and they will be lauching some more semi detached houses but they will be ready to move in by sept or may b little bit late. We wanted a house in which we can move as soon as possible as we are tired of our landlord behaviour. She is not cooperative at all. My question is what you ppl will suggest about end of terrace house. Is it good to go for it or we should wait for other semi detached houses to be lauched. Is there really a big difference between them? And also 3 bed semi detached house is 119sqm and end of terrace is 110 sq m. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks

    Which is the better orientation and location?
    Which is the better layout?
    Why do you want a semi-d? (Eg side entrance to garden) Does the end of terrace have that?
    Are you at the top of your budget as the next phase will likely cost more then this phase.

    End of terrace garden is south facing and today they told me that there is one semi detached house available and its garden is north facing.
    The lay out is same for both but semi detached house is little bit bigger 119 sq m than end of terrace that is 110 sq m. Both have side entrance to the garden. Frankly speaking, we would not be able to buy in the next phase if the price increases. I just got confused between the two. Many thanks

    Can you post up some of the items found?

    I'm just trying to work out if serious or not and I can check previous snags I done to compare.

    2) Chip in the bellcast at the RHS of the door.
    3) Service box is crooked.
    11) Cracks in the rear retaining wall & signs of water leakage from the neighbouring property could be a cause for concern.
    12) Fill / seal the open pipe which encases the oil burner fuel pipe.
    2) Paint splashes on the front door, clean the door & frame.
    3) Skirting board at the hinge side of the door is missing.

    12) Mushroom fixing showing on the wall under the worktop.

    We bought the end of terrace in our estate! Like you it was the last remaining until
    The next phase and had a south facing back garden.

    The specs were exactly the same except the finish of the external walls (which ours matched the 4 bed semi d and was nicer imo) and the fact there was another house in the middle connecting 3 together instead of 2! Size, finish etc same as the semi D and best of all, 5k cheaper than the semi d!

    As we were the last to move in from those that bought in that phase it wasn't long until the prices for the next phase were released and they were 12500 more than what we paid! 6 months in and the same house we bought is now 25000 more than we paid so not a chance we'd have afforded it!!

    If the smaller size doesn't impact you and for the most part the house is the same spec I say go for it, could be that little bit cheaper for practically the same house like ours!! Best of luck!

    PS I love my south facing back garden and there are no houses out the back of mine so were not overlooked, it was fab in the summer!!

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We have booked that end of terrace house and hopefully this will be a good decision as yours. And yes I agree they keep on increasing the prices that is why we booked that otherwise would be difficult to buy. Thanks once again 😊

    Hi all, does anyone know how long it generally takes to get contracts after booking deposit has been paid?
    Is there a general timeline or does it vary a lot?
    Thanks

    About 2-3 weeks I think

    OK and when with a new build house would it be expected to sign the contracts and pay the remainder of the contract deposit?
    Looking to buy a house that is to be released soon but has not yet started construction and I am wondering if we would be expected to sign contracts and hand over the remaining deposit (which I think is non-refundable) before the house is built? Where would we stand with regards to doing a snag list and things like that?
    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭PhoenixParker


    The estate agent should tell you. For us it was sale agreed, booking deposit within 3 days (5k), contracts arrived about two weeks later. A further €15k and contracts signed were due within 21 days, in reality it was 6 weeks, but Christmas was in the middle.

    Keep in contact with your solicitor. My solicitor got the contracts but I didn't bother signing it for ages then the vendors solicitor told mine to get it sorted as construction was about to start.

    I was the same as you, didn't want to hand over my money until blocks were laid but I signed before the foundation went down in the end.

    Snags are at the end I wouldn't be worrying about that right now. Is it semi d? Are you making any mods?

    It is a semi d but don't plan on making any mods.

    Hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone is using this site outside of Dublin!
    If you are buying a new build in Limerick, Cork, Galway, Tipperary, Waterford etc Lets hear your experiences - good or bad! Also anyone self building outside of Dublin


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 sharkufc


    Hi all, I am interested in buying a house in Dublin.
    Recently I saw ads for Alderlie, Abbot's Grove and Silken Park whose constructions seem pretty well done.
    I have just a couple of question for you:
    - is this a good historical period to buy? (considering the prices etc)
    - is there a rough guideline to follow for €/sq.mt?
    - when they show you the pictures with houses furnished, it means that the price includes all the furnitures (bed, kitchen etc)?
    - what are the expenses I should consider around the price of the house (agent? solicitor? other?) and roughly how much should I consider?
    - any other suggestions?

    I will ask for a mortgage, and I was looking for new houses in nice places and well connected to the city centre, so if you have suggestions also about the area is very appreciated!

    Thank you!!!

    So I'm a newbie to the property game and a First Time Buyer in Dublin. I've my eye on a few new developments in North Dublin.

    I've seen all the hype lately on the queueing for properties in Portmarnock here.

    I'm curious as to what the process is like; when they are released is it first come first served; do you go in one by one and pick which property you want from a set of plans and show mortgage approval etc.? Is it essentially a fight to the death? :confused:

    Can anyone advise the best way to get in touch with the foreman of a new site? I was wondering if you want to talk to builder directly about any modifications etc what is the best way to do this, do you just go to the site and ask to speak to foreman or what is the process? Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,691 ✭✭✭ILikeBoats


    Estate agent should know who it is. Otherwise, yeah just go down and ask anyone working there

    Most of your questions are very subjective so really only up to what you can afford and what you want it a house. With regards the furniture, no, new homes will be completely empty unless specified. The show home may be sold with the furnishings. Some new developments have things like floors, kitchens included, but varies site by site

    If you like a development, register your interest with the estate agents. Most estate agents have preview nights with registered buyers in advance of the first advertised viewing.
    Once you get there, you can pick your house and generally have a few days to get s booking deposit paid (bout €10k, usually just enough time to make a bank transfer). If you change your mind, you get this back.
    After that you go through the mortgage approval steps. Again, if you don't get mortgage approval, you get the €10k back.

    Thanks Shedite27 - I've registered interest but the agents are not too forthcoming with details and not too friendly on the phone! I've registered for a few recently and some which have been released and have yet to hear of these preview nights.

    My fear is with this comeback craze of queuing; estate agents are rushing people into making decisions. I'm interested to know if no preview night happens do you rock up on the day of release to put down deposit on whatever house is remaining within a few minutes as you are afraid it will be taken by someone else! :(

    I just went down to the site. It's good to build up a good face to face relationship with the foreman as you want to keep him onside.

    Looking at recent launches, rocking up on the day would result in finding there's a queue of people ahead of you who have been queuing overnight or even days before.

    The estate agents would love you to feel pressured and panicked but if you're prepared there's no reason to be.

    First if you're interested in a new development then do your research now, well in advance of launch. Read the planning permission, read the local area plan, visit the general area, work out your commute, mull the details in your head.

    Consider your priorities like, house type, aspect (sun in the house or in the garden?), price, proximity to the bus stop etc. And identify your preferred houses and set a max for them. Prioritise 1:whatever in terms of favourites.

    Basically make your decision in advance.

    Then in the day know that your €5k deposit means essentially nothing. It's fully refundable and you can pull out at any point until you sign contracts which will be at least 3 weeks later. Use those three weeks to really go over the show house and reflect on your decision.

    All I can say is that it's been way more expensive than we thought. Flooring, curtains, wardrobes, kitchen appliances, tiles etc. we could have gone cheap, but then you think you'll be replacing in 5 yrs, so if you push the boat a bit things will last 10 etc. very hard not to go for the nicest and best stuff and hold back!

    Have my house new for almost a couple of decades now and what I'll say is that the stuff we didn't get at the start still isn't there e.g. kitchen blind but no curtains. I spent extra getting an oven with a timer that has paid for itself in usefulness for years.

    Some stuff had to get replaced - the cheap lino made way for tiles once there was enough holes but the stuff we paid extra money for has stood the test of time.

    Or anyone else that could recommend a good snag engineer?

    many months later but I've been reading this thread and found it wonderful, I'm just in the process of closing
    on a new build. I'd be very grateful for.anyone who sees this and was impressed by their their snagger, if they would PM me details


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭conf101


    Hey all. Question about flooring in a new build.

    I'm buying a new build in Clane and only tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms are included. I have to get carpets/wooden floors elsewhere myself. Do you usually do this before or after snagging? I want to get it all done as early as possible, so that when I close the house is ready to move into, but I'm not sure what the process is.

    Thanks

    We were same, moved in without the carpets (ie after snagging), try not to buy too much before the floors arrive obviously

    We couldn't do anything until after closing. Moved in after carpets installed. Still waiting for concrete to dry to install Amtico in kitchen. Shower stalls weren't included either. We had a bath though so could move in while waiting for tiler. Use the guys on site for speed.

    Thanks guys. Had really hoped to be able to get it all done before moving in, but maybe it'll have to wait until after snagging
