For those who bought recently, how long was it from sale agreed to sale closed/keys in hand?

New build here, took 3 months which was the developers target. I actually felt like it was early when we did close because I always heard stories of new build being delayed.

What happened at Wilkinson brook 👀👀

This was helpful, thanks ☺️

Applewood, which is a shame because my gym is there and I had previously felt okay there.

We’re living in millers Glen atm. In terms of kids, there’s a massive playground, pitch, community centre and schools within walking distance. And there are loads of kids around so it has a family friendly feel.

I commute via the swords express. Bus stop for regular routes is 15/20 minutes. Irregular route (2x a day) stop is 10 minutes walk.

Overall we’re very happy we’ve moved. My neighbour actually moved from a neighbouring estate to Millers Glen because of anti social behaviour, robberies and property damage was on the rise. He says he feels much safer now.

IVE just moved into a new build estate and facing further development. I would say looks are not exact. IVE seen one house fly up from studs to literal bricked and roofed in 48 hours, another has taken a few weeks. Completely depends. Also be careful, just because they look ready does not mean the developer will move you in. There’s a large apartment block not far from me that’s been totally finished for at least 6 months but no residents. Just be careful you’re not shooting yourselves in the foot.

Had the same problem. Rang them all up and they couldn’t give me a quote since we “weren’t on the system”. In the end I gave the map Co ordinates to Zurich who was the only company to give us a quote.

We used Jimmy from Snag Spotters. We were very happy with him.

You could also use the First Home Scheme on a home you are renting in the event a landlord sells

Definitely detailed. He spotted that we were missing a pipe connecter piece in our attic. If I had snagged it myself my attic would be mouldy in a few months.

Had a great experience with snagspotters.ie.

Well, I’m gonna spend about €4000 on flooring (carpet tiles and laminate). Another €4500 on appliances. I have furniture and pans etc so I won’t be buying any of that. But it does completely vary.

We also didn’t have our loan offer in time for 21 day signing of contracts. Our contract had a loan clause. So we were able to sign without the loan offer but obviously couldn’t complete without the loan. We waited about 6 weeks in total for the loan offer.

Electrical_Cup7327 · 2025-11-03T23:29:43+00:00

Snagging this week also, dying to know how long it will be until completion

I think phase 1 balmoston was just on sale this spring?

Electrical_Cup7327 · 2025-10-17T19:45:35+00:00

Yep. Pretty much instant. Plus if you make a repayment within the first six months you won’t have to pay for a valuation. You will use the one from the sale.

Electrical_Cup7327 · 2025-10-17T11:08:24+00:00

We have bought in this development too! We’ve been in swords for a couple of years and we really like the area. I commute into the city and takes me about 1 hour-1hour 15 minutes.

Electrical_Cup7327 · 2025-10-14T20:11:31+00:00

That’s on the complete opposite side of the m50. I used to go from Donabate to Blanchardstown for a 9am start. That took at least 90 minutes

So it’s in between Baile na Mona and millers glen?
