Builder has taken out mortgages on properties

Hi all,

Just heard from solr yesterday.  Completion date mid Feb for our apt in block 17.  Just waiting to confirm exact date.  Is there a particular day of week to do this as the dates they were suggesting were all Wednesdays?

Looking forward to completing now.  As suggested on this Forum, have requested solr to organise connection of electricity before we complete so that we can snag while there.  We will only be staying for 4 days, so hope this is all possible.

Will be looking for a key holder also, any suggestions or recommendations would be most appreciated.

Hope to meet up with some residents during our stay.

Regards,

Derek & Fionnuala.

Hi,

We completed on a Monday in October so I don't think the day matters, although our apartment was ready for sometime before, to complete as it was a previous off plan purchase that couldn't be completed on. We tried to get our Solicitor to get us connected for completion but our electrictiy took over 2 weeks to get connected after we got the keys, so we waited to snag until then as you get a month to submit the list. Although I have heard of people doing the snagging with no electricity on and writing on the list that "electrics weren't working". Also after we submitted our snagging list we noticed another couple of problems, so I contacted the office and they allowed us to add these to the list with no problems. They only come to do the snagging repairs on a Wednesday so not sure if you will get all done in your 4 days.

Hope all goes well for you, best f luck.

Thanks Ian, Jo for information.  It is most likely we will not get to do snag list on first visit, so one of us will travel over again to do this.

Glad to hear that they are flexible with submitting list and any extras!  Enjoy your time in Duquesa, we can't wait and looking forward to meeting some neighbours soon.

For all those completing in Feb 08 in block 17 or elsewhere it might be worth knowing that our AGM is likely to be at the end of February so you will alll be able to vote on all the issues that arise. And if you are over doing snagging etc it might be worth trying to tie in with the AGM...
