Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

Just a quick question can you be on the site during the snagging or is it done by engineer alone?

artinaas

The pends of engineer. Just ask him.

Hi @artinaas Did you have the snag report? Are there many snags found by your snagger?

artinaas

Hi DoctorRV

Yes a lot over 100.

😱😭😡

OMG ! That’s good to know. Sounds like a good snagger. What do they charge?

Wow, that's a lot. Are they major stuff to fix or rather smaller problems?

divide_by_zero

I think the average number for the last group that snagged was around 150, if I remember correctly someone posted it here. But I could be pulling that number out of the air too :) I'm up tomorrow morning, hopefully it won't be a huge number of snags.

Hi DoctorRV

Is not so bad most of them are small.

Hey Guys,

Did anyone else receive a call for snagging?

Also, if anyone visited the site recently, can you please share the road pics. Highly appreciated.

Mine is between 43-48

Thanks

helper1989

I am also in 43-48 and haven’t received a call.

Hi y’all

Quick checkin to see if everyone from 42A to 35 have finished snagging ? Anyone got called from 43A to 28 ?

lch2023

hey,

we are in 42-35, contacted to snag last Wednesday, snagged on Monday and were asked to post a physical copy of the report due to how long it was (90 snags but mostly minor things). No updates since.

06750931

Curbing and laying paths 14-21 was the last update. Builders holidays the 20th of July🫣

divide_by_zero

I'm in 42 - 35 and snagged on Tuesday but it was only a partial snag as the house wasn't cleaned, cabinet doors were not hung and all plastic still on windows (just some of the things that stopped us from completing). Spoke with Joe and we snagged what we could and have to go back once the house is cleaned. Pain in the arse, to be honest as I thought I would get it all done in one go.

06750931

Things are extremely slow....its getting frustrating now I think....

I'm surprised they did call you when house wasn't clean yet. It's just causing more problems than help and do not speed up anything.

With this paste I will not expect snagging for my house earlier than August. I asked EA and they said for now they are snagging only for Dunlace house an they don't know when Kilshaning will be snagged.

helper1989

I won’t be surprised if this is blamed on the weather as well.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122211164#Comment_122211164

20 july to Aug 4 is builders holiday anyway. It will certainly be like end of August.

helper1989

For those who have recently been on site, can you please share pictures of the road or an update on the roadwork? Thank you

06750931

The last time I was talking to Joe was last Thursday. The update was laying paths at houses 14 to 21. Also was told they are on holidays from the 20th of July. Don't know if their planning on having anyone in before the holidays. If not you'll be looking at August before the terraced houses are released. Snagging done, but no completion letter was sent to the solicitor, so unless they called early for snagging.😪

helper1989

appreciate the update and agreed that it’s getting frustrating on how slow things are progressing

06750931

I'm going down tomorrow will take photos and post them.

helper1989

thank you!

06750931

Couldn't go down today no visits as too busy with snags.

helper1989

thank you

helper1989

hello. Has anyone received snagging invites?

KJ2023

hi , yes I’m row 28-34 and I got an email on Monday that I can start snagging from next week!

helper1989

that’s great, thank you.

looking at emails now, I also have an email!

Is it the EA who sends email or the foreman ?

They don’t call ?

I was up on site this morning and got to speak with Joe. Asked him if he could give me a rough idea of how things were going. He said tarmac crew were booked in for the 10th July so that should see the road done then, any paving should be finished before that. He said they hoped to have the first lot of people in before they finish up on the 19th of July with the rest in by the end of August. Now, all this should be taken with a pinch (well maybe fistful) of salt as times given before did not match expectations. But that's the latest update I have for everyone.

helper1989

thank you for the detailed update. Hoping and wishing that timelines are met this time!

06750931

That's a 9 day window....chances look slim for anyone to be in I'd say.........

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122243065#Comment_122243065

Well technically 6 days working and half on Saturday i.e. if they work Sat. I’d say you’re right. Be surprised if anyone goes in !!

Thank you for the update. Does anyone know if this applies to the 4-bed detached houses too? I have been trying to organize a viewing and Joe said site is closed for concrete and 2nd fixing till July 10th.

divide_by_zero

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122243065#Comment_122243065

It's the 19th of July. The builder's holidays are from the 20th of July so that's the time he was saying the first lot would be in by.

najra

Last time I checked with EA by the end of May and they said for now they snag Dunluce type houses only and they don't have dates for Kilshaning type.

06750931

No-one can go in until the road is ready. If they are tarmacing on the 10th it doesn't give people much time, drawing down, valuations etc. Unless they call earlier but how can they if the road is not done?...I would imagine the banks won't pay out till there is a road..Its all very up in the air...painful.

lch2023

Agree it’s a pain, feels like there is progress then we hit another roadblock (excuse the pun) ☹️ wishful thinking but maybe they can have the houses ready to go and give notice for drawdown just before the road is done and do it concurrently 🤞 fyi we were able to do our valuation already with aib no issues

assume no one has heard back since their first snag? We submitted our report 2 weeks ago and nothing yet

06750931

Oh I must get the valuation sorted so for next week good to know. No no word after snagging, same snagged 2 weeks ago.

divide_by_zero

As far as I know, there is only one guy doing the snag for each house, so I don't expect it to be a quick process.

Good day y’all 👋 Is anyone 13-27 getting called for snagging yet ?

helper1989

hi all,

Any one called for a second snag?

would anyone know if the road works have progressed?

I checked with the bank regarding valuation and they said that the roadwork, lighting etc needs to be complete before the valuation can be carried out. This would be followed by home insurance before a drawdown can be carried out.
