Yeah you and me both, its so exciting though!
There is no showhouse for the detached so we can't get measurements until we go in for the snag, but we got our beds in ambassador beds in lucan. Eddie and Craig( the owners) are so nice and they have great deals which are ideal for spare rooms. The navan sofa factory to supposed to be brilliant for sofas so i think they are opening their new warehouse later this month, so you could try there

Try Shane in goc carpets Glasnevin, they might have the measurements of your type of house. They fitted out the show houses and all the occu places too. He was telling us they've fitted a lot of the houses out there as they offer "the builders prices" in Hollywoodrath.

Im having the same trouble myself, cannot decide on colour schemes or floors etc so rather than go with an interior designer I found a place in Templeogue that offers a consultation on what schemes to go with etc for your specific property.

Its not an interior designer as such but may help narrow down the choice & save you some money on an interior designer . Its €150 for them to call out to the property for 1.5 hours and you can redeem €75 back off paint etc.

About 5 properties are or have been snagged since late last week/ early this week

I believe there’s a batch of 20 about to be given dates.
Regency seem to be giving about a weeks notice, they’ll offer about 3 dates/times when they contact u

They’re progressing, after the loooooong wait

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone in the detached houses on green have been called for snagging? Many thanks

We emailed regency on Friday, got a response yesterday evening saying the builder hopes to calls us for snagging mid July. We're in the terrace just to the left of the detached houses if you were looking over the fence, so not sure if we'll be called in batches or how it works..

Hi

Was anybody able to get the builders to move or add anything in while building was being done? ie water pipe/outside electrical socket. Sockets in the house so forth ? Anything similar to this ? Or changes to the kitchen ?

Unfortunately not, we asked when we bought it could we heighten the counter tops as both my partner and I are 5ft 11 and 6ft 4 and they said no. They said it slows down the process however, you should make sure they only tact your skirting boards so you dont take half your wall with you when you remove to put down your flooring

Your garden… a neighbour can cut back any bits that end up over their boundary but not to the extent they kill the tree or hedge. https://www.treecouncil.ie/trees-and-the-law

I did, house was in great shape very minor issues on the snag & was called to de-snag a week later, all done now just waiting on completion date which is really slow

Rescue1122

I contacted EA and completion date for the drive is around August September.

Just got it today (a week later) so close date will depend on bank now, struggling to get the eircode from regency so that might hold up the show for closing date as cant insure the property without it......always something :mad:

Hi can you advise what date you reserved your house? 7 months from now seems quite long

Rescue1122

Yeah agree 7 months too much and issue is with AIP that you need to be renewed too

Hi all

Wondering if washrooms have tiles/shower 🚿 doors in 4 bed semi detached.

Anyone having info please let us know .

Thanks

Ours was just advised as October for snagging from EA!
Wondering will they usually delay than said time or they snag at right time advised? Is water /other connections involved that might cause more delays?

Any updates on snagging or closing?

We managed to get insurance with an post without the eircode. You need to ring them and they'll do it over the phone. The next batch of eircode won't be uploaded til mid August.

Hi all

Did anyone else buy the current A7 style house and discover that the living room layout is different to the plans and showhouse?

I note that the Fireplace and Fire are not in these houses ? I find this very annoying giving the fact we have been buying furniture to fill the two recesses either side. We weren't even informed by the EA on this change which is more disappointing.

Hi

I went out to the HWR Green and the Place and could see from looking in the window there was none (as per plans and show house) I contacted our EA who was very dismissive citing the builder could remove and change what they wanted.

I think it's very poor that the EA or developer isnt informing us of changes ! This is another change on top of the removal of Solar panels! All these changes are benefiting the builders pocket with the savings they are making !

HSAM2021

I have confirmed with the developer "Regency" that the A7 4 bed homes in HWR dont have a fireplace/electric fire in them in "phase 3".

This has caused us some inconvenience planning to furnish this room which we took into consideration and has now messed this plan.

Hi Guys how long does it take from snagging offer to handing key.

I am asking as my mortgage is getting expired and wondering should I opt for a month extension or re-apply ( as one month extension may not be sufficient)

Any experience please.

I see another small change to the 4bed house that of different tiles being put into the bathrooms 'due to a supply issue' or maybe increased cost of supplies. At least we are being Informed of this change. I feel we are getting a cheaper house as the phases have moved along. This being the 3 change or something not in the orginal houses.

Has anyone asked about an allownace to not have them put in ? And get your own tiles etc

What is the type of your house ? We bought the 4bed house too (A1 floor plant)

I can see some pictures over the internet where the kitchen’s heater is not in the same place as it is in the showhome. :(
