Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

hello. Has anyone received snagging invites?

that’s great, thank you.

looking at emails now, I also have an email!

It's the EA who sends the email.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hey Folks,

I am between 43 and 48

It got snagged recently and the snagger came with 124 issues. If I summarise the issue mainly with the cleaning and finishing the things, that’s that.

I had a word with Joe the other day - so he might be looking into getting a few people moving before the 11th of July, of course, those have roads in front of their house done.

But I must say he is a great person - I had many questions about chimneys, the heating system, fittings… He had a good time explaining everything and is trying to get things done ASAP.

Hi

What numbers is he hoping to move in before the 11th of July?

I recommend to go to Telfords they will give you initial quote with appliances matching. We've done this with recommendation from Joe as we also wanted to know domesions etc. And Geraldine know very well which one will fit to all houses on Maryborough. On the quote you will have appliance ref numbers which you can use to check on the internet. We personally will buy all of them from Telfords 😊

would you be comfortable sharing the measurements? Appreciate that you may not want to since it may have personal information.

I’d love if there was but based on what others have said I am not expecting any major updates until the tarmac is laid in 2 weeks. I haven’t seen a visible difference on the site in a long time. However if I do get any update I will post in in the thread
