Hi All, Just discovered this forum and I am glad I did. I am on 56th on the Avenue, just curious if anybody heard about the snagging dates on the avenue recently? Also if there’s one particular snagging agent eveyone is going with?

I met KF and McPeak at the show houses today as they sold most of the ones on offer this weekend. They were saying at the moment they are busy with court and hope that people will start moving in in next week or so. And after that they will start Ave. They didn’t give any dates and were also not sure about the ESB connections. Roads will probably be laid on Ave the week of 2nd September.

House numbers 60,61 and 70-75 on Avenue are not offered to sale yet (some body asked earlier this week).

Hello Guys,
Usually how much time it will take to get contract from agents once we book house? also do we need to sign loan offer letter and contract at the same time? because bank is saying me that if i request loan offer early that might expire after sometime.

TO GET CONTRACT: It varies, in my case it was 3 weeks, in some others it was 4, but some would have got it in 2 weeks as well.

OFFER LETTER: You wont be able to sign the contract unless you have an offer letter from Bank. Yes it expires. The best way to do it is get it closer to the time you are hoping to get the contract. Also even if it expires you can get a new one after submitting updated documents (payslips, bank statements).

I thought you were buying in by cash ;-)

I am curious to know too, if anyone has insight on costs and recommendations for Attic conversion please share. I have seen couple of videos where loft in HWR where converted.

frazenator

Get in touch with MaxHome, they just converted one last week in HWR ave.

Hi There,

Has anyone implemented any water softeners in their home? I'd ideally like to have it in place before we move it but I'd like to get an understanding of people's experience with the process, namely what works were required to get it installed, cost, providers and any advice you'd give to someone doing the same thing.

Thanks!

Out of interest, has anyone who is awaiting a house been given any update of timeline? On the avenue, drive or 5 beds? Hope everyone in the Court is settling in well.

Heard that majority of the Ave to be called for snag in October. I believe the people on the drive have all moved in except the one sold recently on the right. Some of the houses on ave have not been offered to sell yet.

Hi Everyone,

I'm glad to hear that many of you have already moved in! We are having an issues that we are trying to sort out, our utility room layout was changed due to plumping constraints, and the room is not longer a perfect square/rectangle. Did anyone have anything like this happen? This left us with a an L-Shape in the utility to fit appliances and a smaller space to work with.

Hi Curlex,

I have'nt heard anything like this before. Are'nt they supposed to deliver everything as per plan? If not what legal rights you have got?

Thanks,

Hello Guys, I have one query regarding signing contract. We need to sign the contract within 21 days or else i will not get appliances but Bank is delaying loan offer letter now? Will that impact my 21 day period signing timeline? if it goes beyond 21 days will builder give me appliances? had anyone gone through this situation?
