    We are with Knight Franks.

    The EA so far is brilliant to deal with as she updates every specifics and sets the expectation well as sometimes I know its hard to predict with the current situations. But any question I have asked, she is always there to respond which is fantastic.

    This lady I know been working with Knight Franks from minimum 2016, because I met her at first showhouse times:)

    Sorry, I've made a mistake... I'm talking about Drive... Their solicitor told my solicitor the estimated completion.

    Some parts of the drive are much further along than others such as the red brick ones along the main road

    Has anyone been in contact directly with the builder? I'm hearing from a lot of people around me that we should just ask the builder directly about the house, or go into see the actual house as opposed to the show house.

    Our current neighbour was telling us she got to go to her actual house, not the show house, because she was talking to the builder. And I have friends and family, who I'm asking about things to do with the house, such as back garden taps etc. saying I should just ask the builder.
    I understand that the EA is the middle man, but we've been asking them for house dimensions et cetera for months, and all they've offered us was an opportunity to go to the show house. That's not exactly the same thing as the house we've bought.

    How did she contact the builder? Did she just go up to the site or did she have to do it through EA?

    Hi All, I bought one of the detached on the green, we were told 7th June for snagging and out of nowhere, it has been pushed to July. Does anyone else have this problem. I was on site on Wednesday looking through the fences and everything looks like it is flying along.

    It's usually the internal fixtures and fittings that are the source of the delay - actually putting up the structure is quite straightforward and quick to do. But if the plumbers are going around three different sites, you don't necessarily get to see that work being delayed. The stop-start has created a lot of backlogs in construction, sadly, although I have to say delays in completion go all the way back to the start when it was a different builder in Hollywoodrath even! I think it's just a feature of new build homes, sadly.

    The new houses with heat pumps have only electricity. The older houses, most of what you might find second hand, have gas central heating.

    My understanding is that for the recent houses there is no gas connection, we specifically asked EA for that and they confirmed.

    Popped up yesterday and saw that the boarding blocking off the road on the Green has been changed to a fence. Finally got to see the house from ground level! Things must be progressing well!

    Are you getting this info from the EA? We're supposed to be in by the end of June but the only info we get when we contact them is that regency will be on to us soon with a snag date 🙄
