Buying in Maryborough portlaoise ISSUES

hi guys , I honestly think they say what they want us to hear , I’m no.34 and I emailed yesterday as I have drawn down and I’m good to go so wanted to see what was the hold up on their end and joe informed me there’s no such thing as second snag and that they were on 34 yesterday 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

They have to open road as they already gave keys to some people so access is necessary. However road still need second layer of tar. We were there yesterday evening and for me bungalows look like ready for snag just cleaning needed. And as you all said they are telling us what they think we want to hear however I would like to know true state of works and timing for bank as we also need to extend loan again in that case. Plus bank is asking every few weeks if we get some news about completion date.

Hello All,

I was called for 2nd Snag last week.

The house was properly cleaned and all the snag points raised were resolved as well.

The Road work is also, finished and ready for use. You can drive up to the estate.

Property between: 43-48

for appliances, I went with Harvey Norman but someone in the group suggested another seller. You may want to read older messages. All appliances come as standard sizes and should be fine for your house except for hob and extractor fan. Both should be 60cm and would require a bit of cutting to get it installed.

for the flooring, I am still looking for options and have seen huge variance if you opt for a shop that sells and fits vs getting your own fitter and buying separately. I will let others comment as well

as an example:

this what I have locked it for at HN

Wow! That much difference in pricing! Thats good to know. Thanks 🙏

great news! When are you moving in then?

there is no point in calling a professional for the 2nd snag because they are generally good in addressing the major issues.

anything minor that they leave or ignore has to be accepted because they would then put the house in queue and address the snags after they are done working on existing houses.

In our case, they left out few minor things like filling gaps etc which we will have to take care on our own

Mirek Dulinski is excellent. Did my kitchen and hall in Maryborough Village.
Perfectionist.

I’ll DM you his number.

Hi All

Do you know what size fridge freezer is 30/70 or 40/60?

@DoctorRV yes we received same update form EA today.

Hi

There wasn't really a second snag, it was just whether you were happy with the initial snag and happy that all the jobs or main issues were addressed. If you find any issues outstanding etc after the initial snag they won't address them straight away you'll have another wait as they are extremely busy. There was nothing really with mine everything was addressed a couple of issues after getting the keys and all addressed by the guys on site, their amazing I have to say. Joe is so helpful and anything you ask him to do he will try his utmost to get it sorted for you. I had my keys straight after they came back from holidays, signed off on the inital snagging before they went. It wont take long unless you yourself have any issues and how quick your solicitor is.

Did you have the "Valuation Report" done by the banks valuation panel, after the snags from first snag were fixed or do you do that simultaneously alongside the first snag ?

Yes. We are doing snags today. It all depends in what number you are as they started from 27 then 26 etc.

I would say that if you are close to moving in/getting the keys your bank will extend the current loan offer by 30 days. I know mine were willing to do that for me.

Sorry for misunderstanding, by extend I mean renew it for another 6 months.

We have done our snagging today. When we were on site I didn't see to many people around houses from 21 and under. We spoke with Joe and he advised if there will not be to many snags on our list they should be done by 2-3 weeks. Mostly they were cosmetic/cleaning related things in our house. So now finger crossed🤞 as that all we can do 😊

hi, has anyone used or is aware of Heffernan Woodcraft?? Looking for some reviews

Hi

I'm in and I had problems with that. The hob won't fit in it as it stands. You will have to cut it out yourself or get a carpenter to cut it out to sit the hob in.

I think what @06750931 is talking about is the depth and you @KMH24 are talking about the height. To answer your question I think it would really depend which induction brand/model you have got because they come anywhere ranging from 1.8cm, 2.2 cm,4.8cm and upto 5 cm or more even. Ideally less than equal to 5cm should not force you to move the cutlery tray is what I think from the measurements I took last week but what do I know until I get my own installed.

Did you mean updates after the snagging or are you waiting for the first snagging? We only got our snagging done last week so hopefully by end of month we get some updates I suppose.

We did first snag last week only and we are in bungalows 22-27. As @DoctorRV we hope to get update on that by the end of the month.

Did you get email from EA that first snagging for your row start this week? There is high chance Joe was talking about developer internal snagging.
