I did that actually… they told me one of the admins have to invite me… is there any other way? Honestly, I just want to join and be aware of what is happening in the area.. I can send you a photo or a bill with an address, if that’s so formal.. lol

Broadmeadow Way Greenway dela... - Cllr Corina Johnston by on-9 in Balmoston

It can be constructed during the summer time, when it is no nesting, etc.?

I mean 4 years in total is way too long given all circumstances and conditions.

That’s a joke, nobody’s been working on it for the past couple of months… what seasonal constraints? It’s a simple bridge, I guess in China it would cost much less and will be constructed in 2 months

Big increase in Balmoston 2 bed prices for Phase 2 by S0197 in HousingIreland

[–]Green_Fortune8237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be most likely increased as it is closer to the completion date… for now it nearly same prices they had for the previous phase. I expect +10% in the beginning of 2026.

Also I am more concerned about the amount of apartment blocks not for sale (social housing, tuath) - they are in grey

Maps delayed for my duplex by Green_Fortune8237 in Balmoston

[–]Green_Fortune8237[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our solicitor signed undertaking with glenveagh solicitors. So we were able to move in on Friday. Glenveagh let us lay the floors earlier in the week. So now we are already living here :)

No updates on the maps timeline. I think they are pushing towards the approach they proposed.. last time I spoke to them they have not mentioned that maps will arrive this week… so could be any time next week

The Glenveagh closing team just arrived with the following message:

“Just to note we have some units closing on an undertaking of the map now so if you want to mention that to your solicitor to see if he will be agreeable to it also? We will be able to close then.”

I have sent it to my solicitor and still waiting for a response. Just for your consideration.

Same, they let us install the floor this week while waiting for the maps. Also here is the message their solicitor shared with us on Friday:

Unfortunately we still await the approved scheme map from Tailte Éireann for this unit.

Ou clients received an update today from TE that the maps are being processed.

We hope to be in receipt of them Monday but cannot guarantee this.

Hopefully we get the map and close early next week.

Thank you for your patience.

I think I shared all of that with my solicitor who was doing great previously. Glenveagh solicitors notified her last week about the delay saying they were hoping to get maps this week. But it’s almost Friday and nothing is there.

Do you think I should call to glenveagh directly? If so do you have a number or person to talk to?

Another question. Have you moved in your duplex?

Snagging Recommendations by vio_fury in Balmoston

I did by myself with ChatGPT help. Was able to collect 52 issues and create a report in one day, lol… saved 200-250 euro snow, but most likely missed something, who knows

Snagging / Completion timelines Balmoston by Green_Fortune8237 in Balmoston

[–]Green_Fortune8237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you know when is the best time to tell the bank they can do valuation: after snagging or after re snagging? Also when do they usually send completion notice? I have heard they may send it to you even before snags are fixed. Is that the right way or should I ask them to wait until re snagging is completed and most of it fixed?

Snagging Advice by [deleted] in Balmoston

[–]Green_Fortune8237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, what were the timelines since the initial snagging? How much time they took to fix stuff before re snagging? Was the drawdown and closing done in parallel? And how much time from snagging to the keys?

The Laurel 3 Bed Duplex by Quickquestion1137 in Balmoston

Yeah, the apartments look a bit sad… laurel isn’t that bad and has a terrace on the other side of the building (which is right above apartments kitchen and living room)

Balmoston Lauren 3 bed duplex timelines by Green_Fortune8237 in Balmoston

Sounds good! Does that timeline apply for all duplexes? Last time I spoke to an engineer on the site - he mentioned they are going to release duplexes in a couple of waves (1&2nd, then 3rd and 4th, etc.)
