Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

Hi everyone

Anyone moving to Park lane? i asked agent they are saying it will be this yearend. if anyone have update please let us know

Lions gate aiming for snagging in July..landscaping has been started went to see yesterday inside looks much the same from about 6 weeks....

but looked in windows of hophill still stuff to do..

When does builders holidays start...that's another delay in itself...hope your in soon...

We'll all know each other before we're even in 😆...

What number lions gate see you?we went down last week landscape started,drive in and back garden poles in...going to try get in this week see anything inside updated...keep us in the loop anything happening and I'll do same were 74

We are Number 78! We haven't been back to the area in around a month now so the last we say there was still a huge amount to do outside.

Are Hume letting you into the property on a regular basis if you ask? We visited back in March to get inside the property and it appeared to be so much hassle for them we just never asked again.

Lions gate looks to be snagging in September...

Hi all, This thread has been very helpful. We have a viewing for the 4-Bedroom Detached Bungalow/House which they have as Kilshannig/Glenveagh. Anyone who has already purchased this? The auctioneer said its Q2, 2024 possession. Reading this thread makes me nervous about their timeframe.

Like everyone said above, I wouldn't believe a word they say when it comes to timelines. If they told me I was getting my keys tomorrow I wouldn't be planning a moving truck, let's put it like that. We signed our contract in March 2023 and they told us we would have keys around 1st June. It's been 4 months since we signed the contract and somehow it's still 4 months away before we get keys (Best case scenario).

Not sure what you mean about Social Housing comments? I haven't seen any comments mentioning that here.

Wonder will they move anyone in hophill before builders holidays??...I'm aiming for Christmas for Lions Gate...

😄 our deposit been down since Feb 2022. .

Might head down to the site In August...

I've never known snags even to be long.. its got to be man power...

Last any of us heard they were hopeful to start snagging in August / September and prior experience from people who moved in to previous developments suggest snagging could take anywhere from 6-8 weeks. So currently looking like Late October for keys, but realistically.....November

Has anyone moved in Hop Hill yet??

Just curious 🤔

Hey :) we have moved in to hop hill, got keys 2 weeks ago

Congrats! I hope we are next in the coming 2 months - it's taking way too long to be honest.

If you do not mind me asking, I wonder how long did it take you to receive the keys after snagging was done? also, if you do not mind sharing with us, when you did the snagging, did your engineer find anything that needed to be looked at or everything was ok right away?

Anyway, congratulations again to you and your family and hopefully it did worth the waiting and you are happy with the house generally.

Congratulations 🎊..

We have our appliances booked in from ElectroCity in Carlow. We actually took the recommendation from the Auctioneers and went to Telefords in Portlaoise but found them honestly quite awful. We stood for 45 minutes waiting for their Sales Rep to be free (They had 1 person working their entire kitchen and appliances area on a Bank Holiday Saturday). Eventually they got someone from the tills to come over and took us to a computer, asked us to give them the item code for stuff we had seen, printed off an invoice then went back to the till.....pretty Bad.

However the team in Carlow were great, they took us round the appliances, showed us the offers they had on multibuys and sorted everything out there and then. I believe all in we spent €2500 for appliances once all the discounts were added which I'll take all day long.

We also took the floor dimensions to Des Kelly interiors and they quoted us around €6500 for the house, not quite sure if this is a good price or not, we stopped looking around when the delays kept rolling in.

If anyone else has any details on their flooring please share!

Thanks for this I really appreciate it ...

I requested some. Depends on what you want, and what stage the house is at - if it means they’ve to change work that has already been done e.g. shower tray is installed; then you will need to foot the cost to change.

You'll also need to have your 10% deposit paid.

Anyone in yet ?

Lion's Gate hasn't even started yet.....Just waiting on the EA to let us know we can get the snagger in then the 8 week countdown begins!

I emailed Hume at the start of this week and I was told 'I will be called for snagging soon' which meant to my understanding that in few days or at least next week I should!.. Anyway Lynnie85 got scheduled for snagging however I wasn't yet. So either Hume is scheduling one by one for the best of their ability or probably some houses are done yet others are still to be finished. I am not really sure! if anyone else in Lions Gate got schedule please share. I will keep you updated if they call me next week! But I would assume as Cormac_06 said, it's the countdown begins XD...

We're snagging Monday...

They move the whole cul de sac in together was my understanding from the head fella. .

If we all get booked in soon as 😃 😊 we should hopefully be in soon...

I'll update ..
