Its dated May 2017 and hence later than 2017 SDCC plan of type A so I am assuming that this is up to date. Not sure what you mean by parking places not as expected.

It came with my contract as part of outline specs and not available on SDCC. It's essentially the same as Feb except an extra store. What type of house you have?

Excuse my stupidity but we just put down the 5k deposit on a type B last weekend, so will the agent send us contracts within approx 3 weeks of that date then for us to sign and send back and pay the remaining 25k within a week?! I was under the impression it had to be all signed and sorted within 4 weeks of initial booking deposit, but i sent a few q's to hookemacdonald last week and havent heard back yet either (i see from other purchasers its taking up to 5 weeks to hear back though so maybe im too eager!)

Our solicitor then sent us a copy and sent a letter back to there solicitor with queries re social housing, bins etc on the 8th. We are now 5 and a half weeks waiting on there reply. They are very slow. We are waiting for them to reply then we will go to sign the contracts with our solicito and give the balance . Our contract did say we needed to sign and return in a certain timeframe but it seems no one received replies within this time. Hope that helps!

Just clueless on which steps come in which sequence! Might be an even more stupid question but Im assuming you need mortgage AIP to sign? And do you know do you need the HTB all sorted before you sign too? We haven't been properly chatting to our solicitor yet so just want to be clued up when we go to chat with him once contracts arrive haha.. ðŸ˜

We haven't been properly chatting to our solicitor yet so just want to be clued up when we go to chat with him once contracts arrive haha.. 😠We were in the same position as you only learning all this as we go. The first thing we sorted was our help to buy so make sure you have been approved for that first, the bank will ask for this aswel if they haven't already ask you? You don't claim for this though until after you sign the contracts. We put our deposit down before we got our mortgage approval which was slow and we wer nervous about because I wouldn't sign anything until you have your approval. We got our approval in principle which AIB said was pretty solid but received the full loan offer a week after the AIP. I personally wouldn't sign without this so speak to your solicitor I'm sure he will say the same, but everything is so slow I would say you will have it by the time you need to sign. Once your solicitor gets the contracts he will read them and review them and send you a copy. He will reply to H&McD solicitors with any queries and wait for there reply. If they reply and your happy to go ahead you'll meet and sign the contracts. It's after this then you will claim the help to buy (but it should have been approved earlier). We're still waiting to hear back and sign so don't no much after that.

Wait for the plans and see how they look because they'll be completely different to sdcc plans Seems what's disappointing to you is good news for me - sorry! For us the kitchen crowded between garden door, back window and boiler in the corner was a massive waste of space. I was thinking to give up my booking in this phase and wait for second, since layout was also changed in Parkside Phase 2 (or 3). Now all the houses along Shackleton Drive have raised windows in what seems to be kitchen/dining so happy days here.

The full loan offer shouldn't be long after we had ours a week after we got the AIP. No the bank told us because the houses won't be build for a few months we didn't need the evaluation yet, I guess we will be waiting until they ask us to do it, have you done yours?

Our broker told us we need to before signing contracts. He said basically someone comes out and takes a picture of the land. Sounds like a bit of a joke. Does anyone know if the sitting room window will now be raised too?

I'm a bit disappointed I liked the symmetry of the front of the house with both windows being large. The mixed messaged people are getting from the agents is pretty annoying.

Just a thought if they've changed the external look of the front of the house would they have to submit changes to SDCC???
