Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

Was in touch with the estate agent this morning. She said she did think it would be May before they start calling people for snagging. Joe the foreman, has had a bereavement in his family so he's not available until later in the week for a more concrete update on that.

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone received call for snagging?

@GG_AZ - have you received any update or call for snagging?

@helper1989

No haven’t received any call from them yet.

Today's update from EA:

I do not have snagging dates from him yet but will let you know once Joe confirms same to me.

House progress:

Currently painting inside 

& preparing to concrete paths outside 

Plumbing done 

Kitchen & work top done 

@DoctorRV - really interesting stuff. Let’s hope that things progress for us as well.

the general feedback is that they have been able to finish the houses really quickly but the weather has affected their ability to complete the road work.

This has affected the snagging date and the closing process. I am hoping that they are able to complete the road work soon

HI

My name is Edel.

I'm buying no 35 parklane, house booked since October 2021.

I was down on the site yesterday was talking to Joe. He said snagging will start in 2 weeks time. But no keys will be handed out until the road is completed along with footpaths as the banks will not issue mortgages without this being done. Weather has impacted on progress of the roads. But Joe said snagging and concrete at the same time. They are calling no 35 to 42 first. They have done a lot of their own snags so he is hopeful that snag lists will not be too long. Services have been put in recently along the whole road to the entrance. There was a man there yesterday levelling part of the road as it was too high.

It shouldn't be much longer for the terraced houses anyway.

Yeah I'll keep yous posted whenever I hear anything...suppose were all in the same boat…they were certain they will start calling for snagging in 2 weeks time but also highlighted when snagging is complete no keys till the road and paths are complete..They are starting the gardens in the bungalows, most houses are complete or near enough to it ..all the terraced houses are finished bar the door handles on the inside...just the road😴they are anxious to finish as they have started another estate....but the weather has been in their defense shocking....

Today I have been served a notice of termination of my rental accommodation contract and I now have 6 months until October 24. Apparently the owners other house was on a major fire last week and they want this house back for their own use. So can’t do much there ! This puts me in a quite a difficult spot especially due to uncertainty of the completion dates and as we all know how finding another rental is supposed to be. I have written to EA today to see if they could do something to speed things up and push ahead on my snagging earlier than I was told since I was told my snagging was expected to be in August. Hopefully less trouble than I am anticipating!! 🤞

Visited the site at the weekend, only peeked in so didn’t get any good photos but the piles of dirt have been removed. Still a bit of clean up to do and the road/paving still not done but fingers crossed we will be snagging soon! Appreciate all your updates.

thank you for the update @lch2023 and @DoctorRV

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has arranged flooring or blinds yet (Eg had someone in to take measurements, booked anyone) or if you are waiting until after you get the keys to start all that?

Does anyone have recommendations for floors?

Thanks!

Hi there

I recommend german floor

Good prices and quality

hello. If anyone has visited the site recently, would you be able to share if they have started working on the road and pavements?

Thank you
